We’ve touted Kanopy as a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets in streaming since the days when Paramount+ was still CBS All Access. The streaming marketplace has grown so much since then that it is now ready to shrink, but Kanopy is well-positioned to survive the coming consolidation thanks to its unique business model.
Kanopy serves two very different masters: libraries and movie studios. Kanopy is the ad-free streaming service that you did not know you could (potentially) access with just a library card or a university ID. Its library consists of classic films and new releases, and costs the end user exactly…free.
Best of all? Kanopy is profitable, Gm Jason Tyrrell tells IndieWire.
The money flows like this: Tax dollars pay libraries, libraries pay Kanopy (when a member streams at least 30 seconds of its content) for access, and Kanopy pays studios to license their content,...

Holidaying in Bangkok, Thailand, a loved-up young American couple come a cropper when they befriend a pair of British guys at their hotel. Plied with booze and compliments, they’re driven out into the woodlands, and Julie (Taylor-Compton) is tricked into stealing a symbolic artefact from the titular ‘ghost house’. What happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok, right? Well, cursed by a furious spirit, now Julie might never leave at all…
The Thai flavour gives what is otherwise a fairly conventional ghost story a little extra spice. While there are no major surprises in the setup, scares or narrative, Ghost House makes the most of its Bangkok setting, mining the old streets...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the film's publicity arm. Tagline: "She Will Never Let You Go." Director: Rich Ragsdale. Writers: Kevin O'Sullivan, Jason Chase Tyrrell, Rich Ragsdale, Kevin Ragsdale. Cast: Scout Taylor-Compton, James Landry Hébert and Mark Boone Junior. Ghost House is a film from Thailand. Developed by director Rich Ragsdale and a group of writers, this indie horror film tackles the myth of the spirit house. Two travellers don't heed the local warnings. Then, a ghost haunts Jim (James Landry Hébert) and Julie (Scout Taylor-Compton), through most of the film. The film looks great. The filmmakers have really utilized the Thai settings and they are affective. There are other great visuals, though. The fiery ghost-witch also looks spectacular onscreen. Often associated with fire, this villain lights up the screen. Also, this viewer wondered if an older Christian myth, involving Adam and Eve, influenced the story.

Tagline: "She Will Never Let You Go." Ghost House is a supernatural thriller. Shot in Bangkok Thailand, Vertical Entertainment will release this feature, in theatres. The film was directed by long time composer Rich Ragsdale, from a script developed by Kevin O’Sullivan and Jason Chase Tyrrell. The story deals with a curse and a haunting spirit. Loosely based on Thai mythology, the curse must be passed to another - in order to escape a growing evil. Ghost House stars: James Landry Hébert (Looper, 2012), Scout Taylor Compton and Mark Boone Junior. A trailer for the film was released earlier this week (hosted below). And now, new stills are available and can be found here. The trailer is an interesting one. It shows a newly engaged couple on holiday. They meet up with another duo of travellers and they are taken to a graveyard. Here, it is obvious that the new friends have malicious intent.
