Waiting For A Killer
Synopsis
Mikey is a small-time gangster who runs a successful table dancing club and he's about to radically change his life. He's been on a personal development course and it's high time to re-evaluate his life experience and change himself into a better person.
But someone else is also looking for him right now - a killer with a contract out on him. Mikey knows that the killer is in a club that evening, waiting for the ideal moment to strike and he must put all his personal plans on hold and deal with this life threatening crisis. Mikey decides to cleverly turn the tables on the killer and hold everyone in the club hostage.
Using techniques he has learnt on his life-changing course, he begins to seek out the identity of his mysterious assassin. Although Mikey may be able to deal with his killer in the club that night he may not be able to eventually deal with himself.

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.
