We here at Screen Addiction are big fans of filmmaker & artist Cameron Granger. Can’t wait to check out his new game!

Cameron Granger’s debut video game doubles as a love letter to the Columbus DIY scene – Matter News In ‘Sidechain,’ set at a warehouse party on the final night before the world ends, players navigate scenes that draw inspiration from the formative years the artist spent frequenting spaces such as MINT, Corrugate, and Skylab.

This week's screening update features a few words on two wildly different new movies our intrepid editor saw last fall at TIFF—including the latest from Steven Soderbergh—and the skinny on a year-long gift for David Lynch fans kicking off tonight at Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse.
