Baby Brother
Synopsis
Adam is seen as a trouble-causer by his mother, who resents him. He desires to take himself and Liam away and live a better life. He spends his mornings cutting the grass of an old lady to save money and finally escape the grasp of an alcoholic step father and cocaine addicted mother, until he is forced to pay off their debts, and pushed to the limit.
Five years on and Adam returns, desperate to spend one more day with his best friend, his baby brother Liam. Things aren’t the same, as his past traumas travel home with him.

Let It Come Down
Director: Anna Fredrikke Bjerke

Life of the Party
Director: Joseph Cummings

A lonely, aging karaoke bar-owner attempts to make friends with a group of young men that enter his club. As his advances fall flat, his behaviour grows increasingly desperate.
Fish & Chips
Director: Macadie Amoroso
Year: 2026
Fab plans a surprise for Cassie on their first anniversary, but Cassie's rough day, coupled with a party popper mishap, leads to a heated argument over dinner options. What starts as a takeaway tiff over Caribbean or pizza spirals into an identity battle, revealing deep-seated resentments about their racial and queer identities. With half of the film shot in one take, FISH & CHIPS is a tender, unflinching exploration of mixed-heritage identity, queer love, and the fine line between connection and conflict.
