This is a very hard time across the globe, but I’m thankful for movies and having access to so many movies online. You can find big, small, Hollywood, Indie, art, shorts, etc., all for free to watch. We should all be staying at home to help take pressure off the heroes in our medical community, so what better time to watch a ton of movies.

We are spotlighting free movies on Twitter at the hashtag #MHD_WatchOnline and we will try to post daily spotlights here with recommendations for movies that you can watch for free online (without a subscription or account). Today we’re looking at the horror flick Char Man.

Official Description: Two friends visit fire-ravaged Ojai, California, intent on making a fake documentary about the infamous Ojai Vampire. However, things take a bizarre and frightening turn when they learn about a different local legend: The Char Man.

The movie was directed by Kipp Tribble and Kurt Ela, and stars both Tribble and Ela, along with Jeff Kober, Nick Greco, and Buddy Wilds. You can watch Char Man for free on Tubi TV.

Have recommendations for other movies we should include in #MHD_WatchOnline? Let us know in the comments! The only rule is that it needs to be available online to watch for free (legally with no strings attached – AVOD is very welcome!).

We had the pleasure of talking with director Duke Addleman on about his documentary Breathe Breana, a movie that tells the story of a champion surfer who suffers from a life-threatening disease.

Who? 
Breana Schroeder is the main force behind this movie. Her mother Caryn and her surfing partner Bobby Friedman appear as themselves. I do my Hitchcock with Breana at the camera after one of the interview segments. Indie Rights picked us up and has us on Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube, Google Play, and Tubi TV.

What?
The story is about Breana, her struggle with the life threatening disease cystic fibrosis, and her relentless effort to become a surfing champion.

Where?
We filmed in Maui, San Onofre, Malibu, Oahu, Hermosa Beach, and Palos Verdes/San Pedro.

When?
This was a two-year shoot, taking place between April of 2016 and November of 2018. I edited the film in the winter of 2018/19, and began showing it in 2019. Indie Rights released us in June of 2019.

Why?
I made this film because Breana Schroeder is a marvel… because Breana is an inspiring, soul-enriching human being. I felt compelled to tell her story, and I believe I did it well. In fact, I dare you to watch it without welling up!
