Synopsis

A daring deepfake short that follows Sean Connery's unravelling after he witnesses Marilyn Monroe's return from the dead. The film raises compelling questions about truth and power, and satirises some of the more histrionic narratives pushed by the media regarding deepfakes and their contribution to the 'decline of truth'.

Synopsis

An injured boy in the woods. An eccentric groundsman. They’re mortal enemies. They just don’t know it yet.
Set over one long night in the English countryside, injured animal rights activist Cameron is tended to by the kind, if bizarre, farmhand Paul – who, he is about to learn, is the local Terrier Man. The encroaching reveal about who each other are unwittingly sets them deep into a paranoid spiral with a grisly end.

Synopsis

On average, an adult makes about 35,000 conscious decisions each day. Harvey Greenfield struggles with every single one. 
Harvey is a middle-aged office drone with a knack for always being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He breaks the fourth wall to release his unstoppable nervous energy and invites the audience to bear witness the ridiculously hectic schedule that lies before him; an important meeting at his failing publishing company, purchasing a second-hand car, his best friend - who he barely knows - is getting married, he’s overdue a visit to his guilt-trip champion of a mother, an unknown number keeps calling to say someone has died, Alice - his girlfriend, a primary school teacher with bold stage aspirations - is debuting her latest masterpiece, and more. Harvey’s double whammy of mortal fears - making choices and letting people down - means he can’t help but take it all on in one day.
The film, adapted from the critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe show, follows this indecisive people pleaser running late for the world's busiest day as his misguided decisions escalate towards a single choice that risks everything he holds dear.
