Scott Tanner, also known as ‘Avenging Eagle’, has been an FXhome regular since 2005 and drew rave reviews for his last two movies: Escape Velocity and Roulette. Vastly different, they show a filmmaker with diverse ideas and skills who can adapt to different projects.

We decided it was long past time to put Scott in the Spotlight and asked him a few questions about the long and difficult creation of his epic, feature length drama Roulette. Click here to find out what he said!

Since updating the rules for the User Movies section to allow all FXhomers to submit their work we've had some excellent new arrivals. Here's a few that are well worth a watch:

Inebriation

Atom and ben3308's Inception spoof is an inspired comedy trailer that reworks Christopher Nolan's cerebral thriller into a fratboy adventure. While the subject matter is daft, the execution is deadly serious, with a brilliant cast, spot-on locations and classy camerawork. Inebriation has already gone viral with over 400,000 views on YouTube alone.

Rue des Barrières

Completely different is this subdued offering from Matt Fro Films. It's a whimsical story of a boy alone in a quiet town where there's a single moment of excitement each day. It's a slow, poetic piece that deserves to be watched through to the end.

Double-Cross (trailer)

Although there's still some opportunity to make the visuals more cinematic, this trailer nevertheless offers up epic vistas and convincing production values to recreate the Old West.

Geggs is particularly qualified in TV production, having studied it an university (where he was also a crucial part of the student TV station) before going on to work at various London-based organisations, including the BBC.
