Project Detail

12 in a Box

Synopsis

At a school reunion dinner in a remote country mansion, a dozen people are offered the chance to collect a million pounds each. The only catch is that they must all remain on the estate - cut off from the outside world - for 96 hours.

As events begin to conspire against them, can they stay united, or will they turn on each other and lose the cash?

12 in a Box is a tightly orchestrated comedy which barely pauses for breath as it heads towards a 'Will-they-or-won't-they-succeed?' climax.

With deaths, sexual intrigue, kidnapping and spiralling levels of farce and confusion, the film follows in the best traditions of British black comedy.

Kevin & Cassandra Kevin & Cassandra

Director: Ali Kinteh, Damien Nembhard

Year: 2026

Kevin and Cassandra are a married couple who have lost their only daughter Hannah in a freak car accident. They both raised her differently. Kevin had been a traditional parent, Cassandra a permissive one. While Hannah had decided to exhibit her body and mind online, she cut adrift from her father and gravitates towards her mother. Her death drove a wedge between them. Their lounge becomes a battlefield where incendiary words and spiteful things are said. Their marriage is one where opposites no longer attract. Kevin is filled with loathing for his in-laws, his daughter’s boyfriend, himself. Cassandra wears her daughter’s favorite colours with pride and exhibits her painting on the walls. Kevin finds he is powerless in his home and Cassandra mocks the fact that it was her father who bought it. And when he finally leaves it, he leaves Cassandra forever.
