Project Detail

God's Acre

Synopsis

Heavy drinking, agoraphobic, ex property developer Malcolm has lost almost everything he ever possessed to the recession. He has one remaining property, his only chance of escape from a lifetime fending off bailiffs and parasitical ex employees chasing unpaid debts. He needs to renovate and sell... fast! But work comes to a premature halt when he discovers the layout of his home doesn’t match the original plans.
Armed with a claw hammer, he begins demolishing the internal walls, discovering toys, clothes and trinkets belonging to a woman and child entombed within every wall.
Plagued by nightmares and apparitions of previous tenants Malcolm’s obsession leads to uncharacteristic acts of violence as he tries to protect his last remaining possession and unearth the dark truth hidden within it's four walls.

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. 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.
