| Sprocket Holes is an irregular column focused on small release films either playing limited engagements in major cities or available on VOD. As well as appreciating indies on the fringes of the festival circuit, it also takes a second look at under the radar, underappreciated, unheard of films that have slipped through the celluloid cracks. |

#6: It Felt Like Love
film review | 11 August 2013

#5: Dead Man's Burden
film review | 10 May 2013

#4: Sun Don't Shine
film review | 6 May 2013
Timothy E. RAW thrills to micro-budget veteran Kate Lyn Sheil who shines bright in a humid, hellish poverty row noir made in the threadbare spirit of the Edgar G. Ulmer classic Detour. It's currently available on the US iTunes store. |

#3: The English Teacher
film review | 26 April 2013
Julianne Moore toplines this Tribeca travesty, a mean spirited comedy without a funny bone or a conscience. New reviewer Catherine Stebbins is appalled by the lack of moral or artistic fibre, demanding the filmmakers stay behind after class.

#2: Greetings From Tim Buckley
film review | 24 April 2013
This biopic of the late Jeff Buckley plays the Tribeca Film Festival this week and is currently available in both UK & US iTunes stores. Breaking with the conventions of biopic formula, it's not always successful, though it should appeal to newbies and diehard fans alike says Timothy E. RAW.
