Night Junkies
Synopsis
Set in the winding streets and dark alleyways of riverside London, the story centres on an unusual couple, Ruby and Vincent. Ruby works as a lap dancer for an East-end outfit intent on promoting her as a call girl. Coming from a very dark past, Ruby has always had to battle the world. Vincent was 'turned' in a dark alleyway by a femme fatale. After weeks of battling with his condition, he has now learnt to give into his addiction: blood.
Vincent and Ruby meet via a chance encounter in a London café; they fall in love after one special night. Vincent goes against his heart and tries to feed on Ruby to satisfy his addiction. Ruby escapes, but has now been 'turned' and has also become an addict - a junkie - a vampire.
Ruby, unsure of what is happening to her, returns to a remorseful Vincent who convinces her to stay and work things out. Together they try to go 'cold turkey' on their blood addiction. Ruby's previous 'owners' want their star girl back and Psycho (a contemporary Jack The Ripper) seeks her out.
Psycho eventually catches up with them, which makes for an explosive and deadly fight to the end.

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.
