Directed by Andrew Durham and produced by Sofia Coppola, the film feels like a memory come to life: tender, imperfect, human. Set in 70s and 80s San Francisco, Fairyland follows young Alysia and her father Steve as they carve out a home in an increasingly unfamiliar world: from the city's bohemian freedom, to the heartbreak of the AIDS crisis. It's hard not to fall for the film's rhythm, the romanticism in the everyday moments between Alysia and Steve. The moments in the film are so immersive...

Sometimes the best thing you can do is throw yourself a pity-party. Or, if you’re the Drextons, a Sour Party ;) After a New York doc went belly-up (catfished, long-story) and another “almost” project collapsed, Amanda and Michael Drexton grabbed a bag of off-brand Sour Patch candy called, yep, Sour Party. What are you gonna do? Cry? Yes, but it’s so much better with sugar. Somewhere between chewing and contemplating life choices in the streets of New York City - Amanda, Michael, and Samantha ...
