FUNNEL OF DARKNESS is a new web series from IFC.com about a team of strorm chasers and filmmakers who set out to capture the perfect twister shot. It premiered on DailyMotion.com Monday, July 27 at Midnight ET/PT and is running there in its entirety for five days exclusively…check it out!

Navigating the precarious boundaries where sanity ends and weather begins; FUNNEL OF DARKNESS follows one adventure filmmaker and his team, chasing the American Dream…down Tornado Alley.

The FUNNEL OF DARKNESS cast come from a wide-range of backgrounds. Their experience and expertise stems from not only the TV production world, but the off-beat culture of actual storm chasing as well. Creator and star, Keith Cecere (Keith Severe) has spent the past three-years as Technical Director for Discovery Channel’s “Storm Chasers.” Keith has been trapped in numerous tornadoes and in one instance, nearly lost his life.

Food Party Premiere Last Night on IFC

Certain genre based shows are tough to present in an original way… but we think that Food Party on IFC does just that. Its 1 part entertaining, 1 part informative and 1 part theater of the absurd. Its just the delicious recipe for our “refined” Buzz Pirate palette.

Brooklyn-based artist Thu Tran’s show is far from your average cooking show. Food Party combines the culinary arts with puppetry (living cuisine puppets, specifically) and cardboard sets that look more like art installations.

Here’s what the New York Times had to say:

“In her surreal excursions on “Food Party” (whose earliest episodes appear online at foodparty.tv), Ms. Tran can be seen enjoying a romantic dinner with a mustachioed French baguette that smokes cigarettes and wears sunglasses; cooking with kitchenware delivered to her by toy helicopters; and breaking into song as she picks doughnuts from a doughnut tree.” (A Foodie With a Taste for the Surreal)
