Synopsis

Mel and Ash are two British Chinese gay men who studied together. After attending the funeral of Gavin, a closeted friend from their university days, they start examining the crow's feet on their faces and questioning the meaning of the labels in their wardrobes.

Mel, an aging scene queen with the ego of Norma Desmond, believes life is a beauty pageant with him always the winner. He rejects the love of Todd, a provincial boy from the Welsh valleys who moves to London to be with him, in favour of quick-fix sex to fight his insecurities. But how long can he sashay down the catwalk when his eye bags are bigger than his Gucci bags?

Ash is tired of the jaded gay scene where steroid bodies and the Atkin's diet are the only offerings on the menu. He meets Diane (a.k.a Dan) a transexual from their college days with a butch, sexy and straight looking ex army boyfriend, Ross. Ash decides the only way for him to find a real man is to cross dress. Will his foray into the wonderland of tranny burrows and tranny chasers bring him his dream man?

With an underground drag club, sex in public toilet and an all male production of the Miss Pacific Rim Beauty Pageant, Cut Sleeve Boys is a quirky stir fried journey of self discovery and a makeover of the British Chinese gay experience.
 

Synopsis

Daddy's Girl is a chilling psychological horror feature. Heavily influenced by cult Japanese horror, the film uses striking imagery to tell this dark, haunting story.

Stephen (Richard Harrington) is a psychiatrist struggling to hold his life together. Enduring perpetual grief over the violent death of his beautiful wife, his life is fraught with pain and tragedy. Surviving only through his copious intake of prescribed drugs, Stephen is anxious to return to work. When a close colleague at the hospital takes pity on him and reinstates him as Duty Psychologist, Stephen is soon confronted with a troubled teenage girl called Nina (Jamie Winstone). With an obsession for cutting herself and a seemingly increasing blood-lust, Nina displays sinister behaviour which begins to push the boundaries of teenage angst. Are her actions merely a symptom of an unhappy home life or are they rooted in a much more sinister cause?

Set in bleak and ominous locations, Daddy's Girl will drag you through seduction, manipulation, wilful betrayal and a haunting that refuses to desist.

Daddy's Girl exploits the increasingly blurred distinction between psychosis and reality. It explores the fragile relationships between people and the explosive metamorphoses that comes with adolescence. It is a film that asks questions that you do not always want to know the answers to.

Synopsis

Synopsis

An abandoned house and a group of friends. A party. But why has the house been abandoned? What happened there?

A clever psychological thriller that unfolds a frightening story through the eyes of each character. The script twists and turns and nothing is as it first seems.

The group are on their way to the long abandoned Morgan family house; once infamous with their cruel unsolved murders, now renowned amongst teenagers for being a great social venue! The party is great fun; drinks, drugs and sex - it's all good - until something which should never have been unearthed is discovered. Who killed the Morgans? Was it the father? A psychopathic killer? A monstrous beast lurking in the woods? Or is there something else at work which no-one dares think about?

Thrills and chills galore in this stylish shlock horror. Shot on a shoestring budget and with echoes of The Evil Dead series and others from the genre, this is a true blood and guts experience!

The group of teenagers get more than they bargained for; pitting their wits against monsters, the undead and each other. This is a British B-movie with bite, definitely not for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach!

Will you survive the dark night?
