Emily's Story - A Clubbing Film
Synopsis
However, we cannot ignore the 2nd line of the film - The Drug is a metaphor - this isn't only about drugs - it's about all the things we bolt on to make us feel better, when the truth is - feeling better is a choice we make inside.
'Emily's Story' reflects the clubbing environment of the late 1990s and is presented in a unique format - designed that it can be viewed in a nightclub as well as on normal home-based outlets. The Storytelling is intense and opens the viewer up to self examination and realisation, to understand what metaphorical drugs they use in life to overcome feelings of low self worth (fashion, celebrity and powerful cars).
A Unique production, available in 2 lengths for the clubber or shortened for regular film viewer. Think 'Trainspotting' meets 'Alice in Wonderland' and you wont be dissapointed

Clocks
Director: Yv Shells
Year: 2026
When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
