The guys from Nowhere have been celebrating the life and career of the legendary Robin Williams through special episodes of “Why Not?” The “Why Not?” episodes of Nowhere California started out as a way to have a monthly movie discussion and spotlight movies that might have flown under some radars.
In the past installments of “Why Not?” the Nowhere California Team have focused on movies that slightly fell out of the mainstream to movies that a regular viewer might have not given a proper chance. There are many other ways to describe these movie, but the goal of “Why Not?” is to give these films another shot.
In this edition of “Why Not?” the guys from Nowhere discuss the 2002 movie “One Hour Photo” In this film, Robin Williams plays a photo technician/developer Sy and we learn about Sy long running obsession with a particular family…

Type casting is sort of a duel edged situation, for performers it can guarantee work and a long life in Hollywood. Also, type casting can become very stale and most performers can get lost in the everyday shuffle.
In the world of comedy, the traps of type casting can be easy to fall into and for most performers the greatest risk is to not fall into one of these holes. The list of comedic performers that have broken out and taken a dramatic risk have grown over the past few years, with a lot of big screen success and Sarah Silverman will soon add her name to that list.
Sarah Silverman stars in the upcoming drama “I Smile Back” and plays Laney Brooks. Laney is a mother and wife that travels a road of destruction, in which her vices are leading to an end of her “loving” family. As the end looms before her, Laney must take a final chance at redemption.
“I Smile Back”, which is based on the novel by Amy Koppelman and is directed by Adam Salky, is rounded out by an amazing cast. The cast includes Josh Charles (Masters of Sex and Adult Beginners) Thomas Sadoski (The Newsroom and John Wick) and Mia Barron (Newsreaders and The Venture Bros.)
As you can tell by this trailer, this movie is coming out of left field for Silverman and this should not be a surprise. In her career, Sarah has attempt very different roles and genres to the enjoyment of most viewers. Also, she has seem to make it a point to not be trapped in a type casting situation and challenge herself as a performer. In this role of Laney, I will bet good money that she will be making the awards circuit in the upcoming year.
In the world of horror, there is no mid road and you shouldn’t have a mild reaction to whatever you are viewing. There is good and there is bad, but there is a strong reaction and the same can be said about the world of independent horror.
Luckily for the guys from Nowhere, we met up with a talented horror artist at the 2014 Days of the Dead Convention. Her name is Jessica Cameron and the guys were able to talk with her after a screening of her directorial debut “Truth or Dare”
“Truth or Dare” was an intense watch and the people attending this screening can agree. There was even a viewer that walked out, but we were given fair warning by the director and we were given complimentary vomit bags. As the movie was one experience, talking with Jessica and Jonathan Higgins (Jonathan co-wrote Truth or Dare with Jessica) was one of our favorite memories of Nowhere California.
During our conversation, Jessica revealed some details on her upcoming projects and here is the trailer for one of the projects “MANIA” As you can see, from this teaser trailer, we are in store for the best kind of mind fuck and this new force of horror will not be ignored.
The end is near and the demons of the world are coming out of the shadows. Fire City: End Of Days follows a demonic force of nature, known as Vine, as he journeys to make the ultimate choice and this choice will bring life altering conflicts. Vine must choose between the survival of his fellow creatures or protect the life of a human.
This film was inspired by the short film Fire City: King Of Miseries, Brian Lubocki and Michael Hayes tackled the task of writing the script. The director of the original short film, Tom Woodruff Jr, will make his feature film directorial debut with Fire City:End of Days.
Woodruff, known for his Academy Award winning creature effects, will lead a talented cast into this production. Tobias Jelinek (Hocus Pocus), Danielle Chuchran (SAGA : Curse of the Shadow), Glee’s Harry Shum Jr, and Kristin Minter (TVs E.R) are set to star.
After a journey through kickstarter and the festival circuits, this dark adventure will be unleash on DVD/On Demand October 6th. Stay locked into this site for reviews and interviews in the upcoming weeks.

In the early planning stages of Nowhere California, the idea of conducting interviews was the furthest thought from our minds and at most a pipe dream. As time progressed, we started covering conventions and building connections. One of those connections grew from Josh’s fandom of a particular independent movie and the movie is “Grand Theft Parsons”
“Grand Theft Parsons” was released in 2004 and was based on the life of Gram Parsons or Gram’s afterlife to be exact. During Gram’s rise in the world of music, he made a pact with his roadie/best friend Phil Kaufman (played in the movie by Johnny Knoxville) that had to be fulfilled after one of their deaths. The pact was that the surviving friend would take the body of the deceased out to the desert and set their soul free. After Gram’s passing in 1973, Phil had to follow through with the promise and it wasn’t as easy as you think.
One of the major aspects on Nowhere California was the ability for Josh and Phil to talk about the things that are important to them, independent movies were at the top of the list and “Grand Theft Parsons” was an important part of that category.
Also, if you are an avid Nowhere California listener, Phil and Josh recorded a special edition of “Why Not” to discuss this movie… Why Not #11-Why Not Grand Theft Parsons?
As we are always prone to thank people a lot. We would like to send a huge thank you to Jeremy for this amazing conversation. It’s rare to meet someone that you respect and enjoy their work, it a whole different story when you get to talk to them. Thank you!
Fern Petersen (Jennifer Laporte) is a normal high school student, she has a group of close friends and a more then attentive boyfriend, Robert. Robert Klingher (Vincent Martella from The Walking Dead and Disney’s Phineas and Ferb) will do anything to express his love for Fern and one of his most elaborate expressions ends with his death. This could easily be the end of the story, but this is not your typical story.
Most relationships end lot smoother then the breakup of Fern Petersen and Robert Klingher, but for Fern, Robert is a high risk clinger and death won’t even stop his love for her.
This is the world of the upcoming comedy/horror movie “CLINGER”, this movie is directed by Michael Steves and will be released to the world on October 23. Now, in a NOWHERECALIFORNIA.com exclusive, here is the trailer for “CLINGER”
A group of friends set out for the greatest high of their lives, but stumble across something out of this world in the upcoming movie “Star Leaf” It’s easy to categorize this movie as a simple search to get high, but that would be a great disservice to this multi-layered movie.

Star Leaf was directed by Richard Cranor, Cranor co-wrote this movie with Hugh Berry. This movie is rounded out by a great cast, featuring Russell Hodgkinson ( SyFy’s Z Nation and Tim Burton’s Big Fish) Julian Gavilanes (Grinder and Z Nation) Kiki Yeung (GODMACHINE)
