Synopsis

Thirty-three year old Chris Hopkins has a wife, child and works 9 to 5 in a respectable office job. Resentful of his mundane existence, he believes his son to be a burden and struggles to look at his wife with lust after 15 years under the same roof. He feels like something is missing and longs for change. Surfing adult sex sites when he should be working, he soon discovers a woman that he truly connects with. She listens to his problems, dresses like he wishes his wife would and she likes to talk dirty. How long can he hold out before fantasy and reality collide?

Lie With Me is an erotic thriller that explores the seedy world of adult sex sites and the consequences of one man's journey to find sexual fulfilment.

This 20-minute digital short film was shot on the increasingly popular Canon 5D Mk2 camera with a budget of less than £1,500.00. It is writer/director Nick Padley's debut short film and was shot entirely in West Yorkshire.

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.
