Synopsis

In the aftermath of Hurricane Fabian, the Bermuda Government commissioned a memorial to Bermudians “Lost at Sea”. This competition for the island's first public artwork was won by UK-based Bermudian-born sculptor Bill Ming. Andy Mckay’s film is a poetic portrait of the sculptor's early years in a segregated society, as a seaman, the cultural adjustment of coming to England in 1970 and surviving as an artist. The film weaves together his work, emotional and humorous life stories, the making of the 12 ton bronze construction and the defining moments of its meaning to Bermudian people.
The film received a standing ovation at the 10th Bermuda International Film Festival. It was financed by The Government of Bermuda, Arts Council England, Nottinghamshire County Council, The University of Lincoln, INTA Films.

Synopsis

At a school reunion dinner in a remote country mansion, a dozen people are offered the chance to collect a million pounds each. The only catch is that they must all remain on the estate - cut off from the outside world - for 96 hours.

As events begin to conspire against them, can they stay united, or will they turn on each other and lose the cash?

12 in a Box is a tightly orchestrated comedy which barely pauses for breath as it heads towards a 'Will-they-or-won't-they-succeed?' climax.

With deaths, sexual intrigue, kidnapping and spiralling levels of farce and confusion, the film follows in the best traditions of British black comedy.
