Home is worth fighting for.
A riotous teenage refugee living in Moss Side daily fights the brutalising forces of his battle-scarred Dad, and those who treat them as permanent outsiders. Before finding redemption, and a home worth fighting for, in the unlikely form of a boxing club and a disgraced fireman.
Set in England against the backdrop of a mass refugee crisis. Amongst the chaos and uncertainty of what lies ahead, is one young man who must question his own humanity when his need to survive takes precedence. How far is he willing to go?
Micky Mason is trying to keep things together working zero hours. His father is slowly losing himself to dementia and his son is desperately trying to stay clean.
Micky is fired from his latest dead end job and there’s nothing out there but more of the same. His dad’s care home has just been bought out and Micky brings him back to his bedsit. He thinks they’ll be fine. He tries so hard to be. But he’s drowning. It’s not one big thing that sends him over, it’s the death by a thousand cuts.
He takes a course of action that is completely out of character but that seems to him to be the only way to make a REAL change. For all of them.
We’re left with a moral dilemma; in a world where the moral compass has shifted so far, so fast, whose version of right and wrong do we go with?
It's a film about people finding their way through. It’s about Micky Mason; a man out there right now doing his best. But it’s not all anguish and despair. Sometimes it’s warm and tender. And funny.
The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground.
A macabre experiment across documentary and horror. This film dives head first into the ritual and the darker dimensions of odd, English folk traditions - and improvised narrative in the ceremonial weirdness of bonfire night in Lewes, Sussex.
Birdie is an innocent and imaginative teen placed in a convent for her own protection. Holy visions call to her, earthly pleasures tempt her, and unusual fascinations lead her to a strange, magical fate.
