A physically disabled man treks to Everest Base Camp on horseback, yet when the mountain puts his life on the line, he's forced to question how far he's willing to go, just to fit in.
Harold Fry was never meant to be a hero. Until, one day, he receives a letter from his dying friend, Queenie Hennessy, addressed from a hospice far away in Northern England. He has not heard from her in 20 years. He has done his best to forget what happened between them. Writing a brief reply, Harold realises a letter is not enough. He will walk the length of England and save his old friend. Leaving his puzzled, frustrated wife Maureen behind, Harold embarks on a walk of redemption that gradually becomes a contemporary pilgrimage through modern Britain.
This is a coming-of-age story as Harold (and Maureen) rediscover themselves. It is also a love story. Not a romance, but a universal story about love. The love of partnership, children, and of parents. The love of neighbours, of friends who have made their own sacrifices, of strangers whose stories might be unknown to us, but are as complex as our own. Above all, it is about not forgetting to love oneself.
A story of forbidden love in a dystopian future where teleportation technology enables two refugees to escape genocide. When they trust the wrong back-alley teleporter, Ekaterina and Anya are separated. In a desperate attempt to be reunited, our heroines are entwined in an insidious human trafficking ring involving corrupt politicians.

A cinematic music video for independent musician Kēynes, This high-concept music video reflects the beautiful mess that life is – a narrative rumination about the highs and lows of love lost, in a vibrant, fun but meaningful way.
Misdirection is introduced about what it is we’re seeing – romance, intimacy and stoic confidence colour the narrative, using different techniques (a very intentional colour palette, match cuts, quick cuts, vignettes, non-linear and meta-narrative) to tell a story drenched in symbolism (smoke and fire feature throughout) forced perspective and an approach to pop music videos that entertains (as all pop music videos should) but stays true to the tropes of European cinema in a fresh modern way whilst paying tribute to the vernacular of classic romances.
