A Day of Violence

Synopsis

Mitchell Parker lies dead on a morgue slab. In life Mitchell served the low ranks of debt collectors, surrounded by all of the filth and scum that the world had to offer. He thought his luck was in when he stumbled across £100,000 cash hidden in the sofa of one of his clients - a deadly mistake.

A dark and haunted past hangs over Mitchell's head, one that ultimately leads him on a journey of murder, redemption and sacrifice. Hunted by a ruthless gang for the stolen money, he must evade capture and rid himself of his demons once and for all.

British-Mexican woman sat on her bed with a tray on her drawing a comic. Chasing Home

Director: Christopher Mills

Year: 2026

A British-Mexican comedy, the first one of its kind in terms of representation, about identity, family dynamics, and the relentless pressure to “have it all together” by your 30s. The film explores the universal themes of self-worth, envy, and societal expectations, while asking a core question: What makes someone a failure in the eyes of themselves and others? At its heart, this is the story of Camila, a 30-year-old British-Mexican comic book creator whose life is spiralling out of control. As she faces a job loss, mounting financial pressure, and the revelation that her 51-year-old mother is unexpectedly pregnant, Camila's desperation grows. She’s torn between familial obligations and her own dreams of independence, symbolised by a flat she can no longer afford. Her personal journey is a chaotic and sometimes humorous collision of cultural expectations, family dysfunction, and her own insecurities.
