Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and the co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump’s soon-to-be-opened Department of Government Efficiency has a problem with a trigger warning card before a movie on TV. Musk recently shared his frustration with the AMC Network’s inclusion of a warning before the airing of Goodfellas.

The Martin Scorsese-directed crime drama follows the story of real-life mafia man Henry Hill and his life with gangsters. The film is known for being rooted in Italian-American culture but has also been criticized for promoting cultural stereotypes. The AMC Network had previously explained their decision to include the card before the film.

Absence is a film that challenges the audience to find its own truths. Not just within the plot, but in the basics of family dynamics.

Opening theatrically on July 5th, Absence is the story of Evan (Ryan Smale, Damage). A young college student whose sister Liz (Erin Way, “Alphas”), has had her unborn baby disappear. To coup with a suspicious town, he and his brother in-law, Rick (Eric Matheny, J. Edgar), take her away to a secluded mountain community. As Evan attempts to document his sister’s recovery, strange things begin to happen which will test their family bond. Someone or something clearly wants more.

Shock Till You Drop recently spoke with writer/director Jimmy Loweree about the challenges of creating his first feature, crafting the perfect characters, and engaging the audience.

There are many things absent from this found-footage horror movie, including suspense, logic, and originality. The footage in question is being shot by Evan (Ryan Smale), a film major who's traveling to a mountain vacation home with his sister, Liz (Erin Way), and her husband, Rick (Eric Matheny). Liz needs refuge from the police and media attention surrounding the weird disappearance of her unborn child. Seven months pregnant, she woke one morning to find that the child within her had simply vanished. First-time writer-director Jimmy Loweree and co-writer Jake Moreno open with an informational card advising that "Cesarean theft" accounts for 20 percent of infant kidnappings, but within the story itself, they never say whether Liz shows signs of having undergone a C-section. In the fou...

Below you'll see Liz talking about her missing child,...

What if you were pregnant and woke up to find that your child was gone. No trace, no memory, you just are no longer pregnant. Imagine the implications, not only within the family, but from others outside. What would that do to you? More importantly, what if that was just the beginning of the nightmare? These are the questions posed at the start of Jimmy Loweree debut feature, Absence.

The film opens in the Hospital where Liz (Erin Way, “Alphas”) is recovering after having her child seemingly kidnapped. Even worse, the child was unborn!
