Make Way For Tobin

Synopsis

Based on Stanley Morgan’s multi-million selling character Russ Tobin (which to-date has sold over 10 Million copies Worldwide) the comedy musical Make Way For Tobin is a homage to Britain’s golden era, the 1960’s when the dreams were high and the skirts were even higher. Ever on the look-out for that rung that will help him up the ladder to fame and fortune, Tobin believes his big break has finally arrived when he gets the job of maintenance man at the fabulous apartment block Wisteria Court, residence of the very rich and famous. Alas, Russ quickly discovers the chasm that inevitably separates our fantastic dreams from harsh reality. Wisteria Court, it transpires, is a seething seedbed of eccentric silliness, an asylum of anarchic asininity. One day the world may well Make Way For Tobin - but it sure as heck won’t be today!

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.
