Project Detail

Slumber Party

Synopsis

5 girls, 1 house, big mistake! Confused, foggy and possibly insane, Simon was once a successful businessman who was thrown into pop management by chance. PR guru and Elvis lookalike, Keith, recognises Simon's strengths (his pop band), and his weakness (his own mental stability) and carefully manipulates them both for his own ends.

Wooed by the possibility of big time stardom, Aussie girl group, The Sheila's, are persuaded by Simon and Keith to stay overnight in the UK's most haunted house as part of a charity stunt. The event is filmed live and is linked to a studio debate. The usual TV 'experts' are assembled - physic, shaman, psychologist, historian and ghost hunter - in the studio to watch the action in the haunted house and debate the ethics of such a fundraising campaign. As a publicity stunt it was a brilliant idea, but no-one bargained for the fact that the house really is haunted and the studio panel plus a national audience watch the events unfold with unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Half of the movie was filmed in a haunted house in Suffolk, England, and much of what was shot was unexpected, alarming and makes very compelling viewing.

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.
