Macy

‘The Perfect Neighbor’ has received nomination for ‘Best Document Feature’ at the 98th Academy Awards.
‘The Perfect Neighbor’ is a 2025 documentary about the fatal 2023 shooting of Black mother Ajike "AJ" Owens by her white neighbor, Susan Lorincz, in Ocala, Florida, unfolding entirely through police bodycam footage to explore escalating neighborhood disputes and racial prejudice.

K-Pop Demon Hunters follows Huntr/x, a K-pop girl group who secretly fight demons, protecting fans and using music to power a magical barrier called the "Honmoon" to seal away soul-eating demons led by Gwi-Ma.

The film blends K-pop culture with Korean mythology, focusing on friendship, heritage, resilience, and self-acceptance.
