Cubic Zirconia (2024)

With a story that could be ripped from today's headlines, Jaron Lockridge weaves a masterful tale with gripping suspense and an unexpected twist. Heard the audience gasp at the revelation. Great performances all around help bring this story to life. Keith Johnson takes the reins and delivers a nuanced performance in the leading role. Kate Mobley plays off of Johnson's performance and plays the perfect reluctant partner. Great performances from newcomers Terry Giles and Amy Taylor as well. This movie is the second installment in what Lockridge calls "The Stix Universe," with the film The Stix telling the first chapter. We see a few characters making appearances in both films, and we should be seeing more of the same in future installments. Don't miss this one....
