Starting with a strong premiere at Sundance 2021 and recently garnering 5 Gotham Independent Film Award Nominations, PASSING has been in Award Season conversations for the better part of the year. But does it have enough praise to make it all the way to Oscar Sunday? We break down Rebecca Hall's feature length directorial debut with Untitled Cinema Gals Project's Morgan Roberts and give our take on the film's best chances to be nominated in the coming months.
PASSING follows the unexpected reunion of two high school friends, whose renewed acquaintance ignites a mutual obsession that threatens both of their carefully constructed realities. Starring Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga, and Andre Holland.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
