Project Detail

Chatroom

Synopsis

Five teenagers meet online and encourage each other's destructive behaviour. But things get out of hand when the charismatic and manipulative William targets the unstable Jim. Chatroom is a high-concept thriller-drama, combining the mounting tension of Disturbia with the razor-sharp observations of a generation as seen in Trainspotting.

The Baby Factory is Closed The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
