Project Detail

Daylight Robbery

Synopsis

A gang of robbers have plotted together to steal millions of untraceable cash that is stacked in the underground vaults of The London Exchange Bank waiting for its last journey, 'Incineration'.

The story begins with the gang checking in for a flight to join in with thousands of England supporters that are part of a mass exodus to Germany, on their way to the World Cup.

But instead of passing through to Departure Lounge, they secretly head out to the car park, pile into a van and leave the Airport.

Once in Central London, they hit The Bank in a spectacular way. They have their plan. They have their alibi. They have their target, and they have two and a half hours to be back boarding their plane. But, is robbing a bank so easy?

The Scarlet Tunic The Scarlet Tunic

Director: Stuart St Paul

Year: 1998

In nineteenth century rural England, a German hussar serving with King George III's personal cavalry, Matthaus Singer, falls madly in love with Frances Groves, the only daughter of a West Country solicitor. Based on the short story 'The Melancholy Hussar' by Thomas Hardy

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in a waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
