TwoOhSix Picks - Seattle Shorts Film Festival
If you live in or around Seattle and you enjoy watching short films, then it would be just silly of you to not be at this year's Seattle Shorts Film Festival on November 14th and 15th. The lineup of short films is really impressive and the organizers have packed as much into two days of programming as they possibly could. This is just the beginning of my Seattle Shorts coverage so make sure to keep your eyes right here on TwoOhSix.com for more festival info, reviews, and recaps.

Trailer Debut - Marvel's Jessica Jones Full Trailer
You've seen the teaser trailers I posted a few weeks ago (click here if you haven't) and hopefully you are just as excited as I am about this series coming out. Jessica Jones looks like it will fit in perfectly with the darker and edgier "street level super hero" style that worked so well for Daredevil and will look to add more pieces to the puzzle that will eventually all fit together as The Defenders.
The entire series run of Marvel's Jessica Jones, which stars Krysten Ritter, David Tennant, Mike Colter, Rachael Taylor, and Carrie-Anne Moss will be released November 20th exclusively on Netflix.
Oh, and just for fun, here's a first look at Daredevil Season 2!

2015 GeekGirlCon Saturday Recap
Once again, the fine folks and organizers of the GeekGirlCon event have put on another amazing show. While it is much smaller in scale than Emerald City Comicon or PAX, it still gives you the same feelings of fellowship and fun without all the crazy long lines and crowded hallways. I have now had the pleasure of covering the event for three years and it just keeps getting better and better.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Poster Debut
Not many movies warrant the type of attention that a Star Wars film attracts as every bit of information released to the public gets scrutinized to no end so when even something like a new poster is released, it's considered big news. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now exactly two months away and this final poster, being released just a day or two before tickets go on sale, fits right in with all the classic Star Wars posters we all know and love.
