With fewer than 6,000 black rhinos left on Earth, ‘RHINO’ follows Kenyan wildlife ranger Kiloku, who has dedicated his life to protecting the species against escalating threats from armed bandits and poachers. Despite around five percent of the global rhino population being lost each year, Kiloku’s team has not lost a single rhino in nearly a decade — an extraordinary achievement that now presents a new and dangerous challenge.
As space at the sanctuary runs out and territorial tensions rise among the herd, Kiloku and newly qualified ranger Rita embark on a high-risk mission to relocate a group of rhinos to a new protected area 60 miles west. The operation is fraught with danger, but the stakes could not be higher.
Crafted over four years of living and working alongside Kenya’s conservancy community, ‘RHINO’ offers an unflinching look at the daily realities faced by those risking their lives to protect biodiversity, while also giving voice to the wider forces driving the conflict. The film presents a timely examination of conservation, survival, and the human cost of protecting the natural world.

‘MAMOCHKA’ – Psychological Horror Feature Exploring Obsession and Historical Distortion
📍 Written & Directed by: Vilan Trub
📍 Produced by: Trub Film Co.
📍 Distributor: BayView Entertainment
📍 Genre: Psychological Horror
📍 Runtime: TBC | Cert: TBC
📍 Festival Premiere & Digital Release Date: January 16, 2026
📍 Starring:
Alexander Kollar
Maya Murphy
Dino Castelli
Joshua Danskin
Andrew Steiner
🎬 Synopsis:
‘MAMOCHKA’ follows Mark Gajewski, a suburban husband whose life begins to unravel after inheriting an antique Nazi-era heirloom doll. What initially appears to be a historical curiosity slowly becomes a source of obsession, drawing Mark into a distorted worldview shaped by myth, ideology, and personal fixation.
As his behaviour grows increasingly unstable, the film examines the dangerous consequences of Reductio ad Hitlerum — the philosophical concept of stripping historical context from ideology to justify belief and action. Framed as a psychological descent rather than a conventional horror narrative, the film focuses on character, unease, and moral discomfort.
Filmed in and around Pleasantville, New York, the production features a largely Westchester-based cast and crew. The film held exclusive sneak previews in Westchester County before being selected for the UK’s Horror-on-Sea Film Festival, where it makes its official festival debut on January 16, 2026.
