Arachnotelephonophobia

Synopsis

A twisted, cautionary tale exploring the dangers of the modern advertising world's 'quick fix' mentality. When a potential cure to Grandma's fears presents itself on television, she hopes for an easy escape from her horrible, haunting visions. 'Hyper Therapy' may hold the answer to her phobias, and be able to get rid of the butterflies in her stomach, but at what cost? Can the cure possibly be worse than the symptoms? Remember, fear is there for a reason!

Savage House Savage House

Director: Peter Glanz

Year: 2026

England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.
