Synopsis

After the death of their ill-tempered and controlling father, middle-aged sisters Constantia (Con) and Josephine (Jug), find themselves at a loss. The story takes place in 1920 and is set within a European townhouse where Constantia and Josephine have always lived with their domineering father. The two sisters' mother died when they were young, and they have spent their lives enslaved to the rhythm and routine of Father’s house. Even in death they fear their father and imagine him springing out of the wardrobe or shouting at them from his grave. Over time, their father’s control diminishes and they find comfort in taking part in peaceful activities in each other’s company. An unexpected visitor also helps them to find the courage to begin their lives anew. A merry, rude, and lyrical, animated adaptation of the modernist short story written by Katherine Mansfield in 1920. In this adaptation the sisters will begin to assert themselves in joyful, unexpected ways that could only be depicted in animation.

Synopsis

Inmates under Home Detention Curfew are promised instant parole through a government early-release pilot, if they can prove they’re reformed in group therapy. Strangers trade confessions like currency, bartering trauma, charm, and twisted lies. Dumb crimes spark laughter, serious crimes suck the air out of the room. Empathy and morality are mandatory, but the system isn’t testing remorse - it’s testing performance. In a surreal stage of confessions and manipulation, honesty is demanded, yet the real question lingers: who among this motley crew can convincingly fake redemption? A darkly comic, sharply observed tale where freedom hinges on the art of deception.

Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s favorite colours with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. Kevin finds he is powerless in his home and Cassandra mocks the fact that it was her father who bought it. And when he finally leaves it, he leaves Cassandra forever.

Synopsis

Mark, an anxious neat-freak and Mia, a chaotic, rebel are on a first date. They list through their red flags - the bar is so low you couldn't limbo under it! Despite their differences they appear made for each other, there's only one small problem... MEET-CUTE is a rapid-fire rom-com for the anxious, nerdy and neurodiverse. Jaded by endless dates that go nowhere with people too afraid to put their real personality out there, Mark and Mia decide to lay it all on the line, their pet peeves, red flags and their sexual hard nos! We see cutaways of their sad little lives and dating disasters. Whilst they're both odd balls and cultural snobs we can begin to see a connection forming however, the rug is pulled from under us at the last minute. A style that sits somewhere between Wes Anderson and Edgar Wright with a dash of 'Arrested Development' thrown in. A micro-short that packs a lot of punch.
