Review of the Gadget Show Live 2015
Attending the Gadget Show Live has become a bit of a traditional trip down south for Geek Native. We’ve been going since 2011.

TARS cosplay is Interstellar
I think TARS may well have been my favourite bit in Interstellar. I’m not saying that to knock the film, I rather liked it… but TARS was a scene stealer! This cosplay took some 3 months to build and was shown at Seattle’s Emerald City Comic Con this year. It won the “One to Watch” […]

A great film from Joe White, The Brain Hack follows two students and on an interesting experiment to create hallucinogenic visions of god. […]

Short film: The Leviathan
I’m listing this in Geek Native’s short film category as this teaser is over 3 minutes long and is a complete encounter. It’s actually a proof of concept, part of a pitch for a larger story and was created by Ruairi Robinson. This clip was developed with the assistance of the Irish Film Board and […]
