Project Detail

$teal

Synopsis

A group of youthful robbers are looking for a retirement fund. But the mob and the police want them to keep working - for them.

$teal is an action packed robbery story. Lead character Slim is as smart as they come and has come up with a daring plan: pull off five heists in a week, using a different extreme sport each time to make the getaway.

But after only two heists the gang net $20 million in untraceable bearer bonds. Why risk your neck when you've made more money than you've ever dreamt about?

However, a crooked cop has traced them (supposed to be on the good side, he is rotten to the core) and wants a piece of the action. In fact he wants it all. He forces Slim and his gang to go through with the rest of the plan, but they're going to have to hand him all the money from each successive heist. Only the last heist is going to be a bloodbath: every member of the gang is not going to get away alive from that one.

Slim has two other minor problems: the bearer bonds are owned by the mob, and suddenly the young gang have a holy hitman on their tails.

And Carmen, Slim's newfound girlfriend? She's a cop.

Year: 2026

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.
