Seven Deadly Sins
Synopsis
As the storyteller's chilling words suggest: 'The seven of past - where are they now sweet brethren?" This is a musical beyond any pre-conception, delving deep into social issues with powerful images and music.
We follow the final days of a lonely guy, and through his thoughts, dreams, memories and media the seven sins are dramatically brought back to life. Sloth becomes drug abuse, envy becomes vandalism, etc., as each sin is transferred into its relevant modern day problem. With deep reality this is a tonal exploration of life itself, and our place within it.

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.
