Thriller: Suspense-driven films featuring tension, mystery, or heightened stakes. (Encore screenings are programming decisions and do not indicate award preference. Schedule subject to change.)

Inspired by Evan Hunter's (The Birds, High and Low) early short story The Last Spin, Xpendable tells the story of a dispute between two crime organizations and the decision to settle matters with a representative from each club. Whereas the original story dealt with juvenile males from rival gangs, Xpendable shifts the focus to age and gender, along with a dose of black humor. Filmed in Medford and Jacksonville, Oregon, over four days during 2022 and featuring actors Preston Mead, Annette MacGregor, Adam Lewis, Jeffrey Hunter, and Johnny Whelchel, along with a production crew consisting of family and friends, Xpendable is director/producer Walter Haussnerâ's love letter to Film Noir and David Mametâ's view that old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
