Project Detail

You're Fired

Synopsis

In a small quiet town in the north-east of England, there is a murder. A sports journalist who hates sport quits his job. A bouncer is fired for 'bouncing'. And a girl is jilted at the altar. These seemingly random events spiral together when the three accidentally bump into each other in the same pub. As the girl drowns her sorrows, the writer works on a crime script, and the bouncer starts talking, little do they know that someone is listening. Now all three are entangled with a beautiful widow, a suitcase full of money, an ever-increasing body-count, and a dubious pint of semi-skimmed. Will the bouncer ever get his hands on the money? Will the bride ever find out what happened to her husband-to-be? Will the writer ever live down last year's under-12s five-a-side mascot fiasco? Will they even survive a murder case they're not supposed to be involved in? Soon all will be revealed, and delivered straight to your doorstep!

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.
