When local broadcaster Walter Moore (Matt Farley) and his cousin Poopy (Chris Peterson) discover a magic spot in the local woods, their lives are forever altered in the most surprising of ways, as the spot turns out to be not only magic but also a portal to the past that can be utilized for good or for ill!
Will the two friends finally discover the truth behind the events that led to the demise of their Uncle Dan (Kevin McGee)? Will Matt use the power of the spot to figure out what his old flame Alyssa (Elizabeth Peterson) was wearing on their first date? And who are the mysterious men that seem to be following them everywhere they go? Could it have something to do with the world's end as we know it?
We’ll have hot chocolate in the lobby for one of the coziest winter afternoon films of all time - Magic Spot is BACK TO THE FUTURE meets TWIN PEAKS, and the most heartwarming film you’ll ever see where people scream, 'Acclimate, Poopy! Acclimate!’

When Farley Wilder (a weirdo peeping Tom in a small New England town) meets a daring young woman, he gains the confidence to both stand up to his overbearing father and also save the town from the hushed-up secret that's been killing people for decades! Beautifully shot on 16mm and newly scanned in 2k thanks to Gold Ninja Video, Freaky Farley is an ode to regional slashers of yore and just might be the closest the Motern Media crew have come to a De Palma riff. Full of peeping shenanigans and all the small town charm that keeps us coming back to these films, you won’t want to miss out on this one!

See that man in the distance? The guy who has been using his metal detector to investigate the same patch of grass in this public park for over an hour? Is he a peaceful hobbyist, searching for historical artifacts? Or, is he some sort of devious maniac, hiding in plain sight, waiting for an opportunity to prey upon the innocent?
When Matt Farley & Tom Scalzo, music professors currently on sabbatical, spot this man, they become immediately suspicious. Given Tom’s highly sensitive “vibe receptors,” these suspicions carry significant weight. Fearing their sleepy bedroom community to be in jeopardy, our heroes have little choice but to reinvent themselves as citizen sleuths and dive headlong into a full investigation. The hair-raising secrets that they uncover must be seen to be believed!
