Where did the first-ever TV broadcast take place?
Beginning with a forgotten plaque in Folkestone, filmmaker Ben Barton follows a trail left by television pioneer John Logie Baird – and re-examines where television first sparked to life.
Caught between a mother who can provide everything except closeness, a father who gives love but not stability, and an older brother forced to choose between his own youth and becoming a parent too soon, a young Black boy’s future hangs in the balance. In this interactive custody battle, a single choice shapes a childhood - and fractures a family.
A poetic and visceral drama set against the colour-drenched backdrop of Liverpool’s queer nightlife, that dives headfirst into the chaos where drugs, romance, and self-destruction intertwine.
Told through fragmented timelines, spoken word poetry, and an immersive soundtrack, the film offers a subjective journey into the mind of Wolfy, who is caught in cycles of addiction and toxic love. Nights blur into days and back into nights again, each one a distorted reflection of the last.
Wolfy’s familiar rhythm of euphoria, comedowns and self-loathing is mellowed by Snooze, a charismatic, carefree lover, desperate to bring Wolfy out of his shell. Their connection burns bright but is dangerously fuelled by escapism and the promise of a freedom that always dissolves with the sunrise. As drugs and desire merge, the line between comfort and destruction becomes harder to see, until Wolfy must confront the reality that he’s been drowning out in the noise.
Exploring the tension between escapism and awareness - the struggle of knowing the damage being done, but feeling powerless to stop it.
