Some are movies from SXSW, Fantastic Fest and others are just indie films/series. They're not for everyone but all are unique and interesting stories and they're all on Netflix. If you don't have Netflix, many of these are OnDemand through various platforms and if all else fails hopefully you still have a movie rental business in your town. Let me know if you watch any...
