Blood Junkies
Synopsis
Running Dog Films specialises in producing low budget genre films using proven no/lo production methods combined with the latest desk-top digital technology.
Brigadoon this certainly isn't. There is an evil spirit draining blood from junkies on a run down Scottish housing estate, a series of events that leads a local doctor to the sleazy world of Blood Junkies: the influences here aren't Bill Forsyth and Sandy McKendrick - more Roger Cormen, Fred Olen Ray and Hammer! - The List Magazine.

Wasted Youth
Director: Bruce Naughton
Year: 2002
Jamie and Ben are two students faced with the age old trauma of getting out of bed in time for lectures and into bed with the girl of their choice, until they come across a bag filled with several pounds of hash that's been hastily discarded by a slimy local crook. Here is the gateway to a fantasy term of dulled brains and newfound popularity: 'the answer to all our troubles' reckons Ben, floating inches from the ceiling, 'financial, social and spiritual'.
Paper Cut
Director: Jack Sain
Year: 2026
Long-lost siblings meet for dinner. They end the night in drag. By sunrise, a shocking revelation tests the limits of love and acceptance. PAPER CUT is a debut feature from queer British writer-director Jack Sain. Alex has just found Alice - the birth sister he never knew existed - living four tube stops away. He invites her and her boyfriend over for dinner at the comfortable London home he shares with his boyfriend Sasha. Everyone is on their best behaviour. Everyone has rehearsed. By midnight, all four of them are in drag at a queer nightclub. By 5am, something comes to light that none of them can take back. The film puts social satire through an experimental lens, with a propulsive original score and formally adventurous set pieces, including a split-screen sequence. It asks what happens when people who pride themselves on openness are confronted with something they cannot absorb. The cast includes legendary trans actress Adèle Anderson, Olivier Award nominee and longtime member of cabaret trio Fascinating Aïda, and Barney White of ITV's Professor T - pairing established stage and screen talent with brilliant newcomers.
Life Is 4 ½ Metres
Director: Jeevan Singh
Year: 2026
A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
