Project Detail

J1S

Synopsis

Essentially Jekyll & Hyde with an AI in an alternative Liverpool. A Robotics company in Liverpool called IA Industries have to fast track a project to ensure they can sell it. When they download a new package into it, they merge, and create a Jekyll Hyde character who is rational and inquisitive one moment to violent and ruthless the next. It breaks free from its facility, and the company need it back or they are finished.
J1S stumbles around the streets of Liverpool, one minute watching, the next minute killing. The more humane side questions why he was created, the other just reacts and takes control. Soon their split personalities actually benefit the situations they are in. Will the company get him back, or will the residents of Liverpool be safe?

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.
