Review | Frederick
Nigel reviews the latest addition to the Cameo Launch Review Showcase. Writer and star Josh Mann and director Traci Hays meticulously craft a mystery thriller following an obsessive painter working towards a masterpiece that will ensure he is long remembered. At the same time, a number of young women start to turn up missing and a grizzled NYPD detective suspects the titular artist. Watch the video to hear Nigel's thoughts on this ambitious, tense and atmospheric short film.

Review | Paul Is Dead
George Mole takes us on a magical mystery tour with his review of alt history comedy short film 'Paul Is Dead'. Director George Moore helms a stylistic, hilarious and surprisingly full of heart film depicting the accidental death of Paul McCartney in 1967 and the insane mission of the remaining 3 Beatles to replace him with a lookalike.

Desperate to maintain an image of normality amongst the judgement of others, the father has to decide whether to stifle his son's true nature or embrace it before the world.
