MoviePod Dispatch: Torus (2026) w/ director Kevin Tuck, and a Forest City Film Festival 2026 Preview

Friend of the show Kevin Tuck created a microbudget indie sci-fi film called Torus that will be having its world premiere at the 2026 Forest City Film Festival in London, Ontario later this month. I got a chance to ask him some questions about independent filmmaking and the ambition of making science fiction on a low budget.
We also preview some other local independent films that are playing at FCFF that caught our eye.

Kevin Tuck is an independent filmmaker. You can check him out on ⁠Instagram⁠ (instagram.com/chuck.tuck/?hl=en) as well as his ⁠website.⁠ (kevintuck.ca/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=soc…) Torus premieres on October 20th at Wolf Performance Hall in London, ON as part of Forest City Film Festival.
