Project Detail

Such a Vivid Imagination

Three children seated on an outside wall.

Synopsis

On the cusp of adolescence, Celia’s world begins to unravel after she discovers her mother’s affair. Alienated at home and struggling with a mind where reality and imagination intertwine, she retreats into long summer days with her cousins, Kerry and Hannah. Things take a dark turn when she and Kerry stumble upon a body deep in the woods. They urgently summon the adults for help, but the body inexplicably vanishes - and no one believes them. As Celia becomes consumed with uncovering the truth, her grip on reality fractures further, pulling her into a dangerous mystery where the line between witness and suspect blurs, and the greatest threat may lie within her own mind.

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.
