Following Yago
Synopsis
Jack has recently given up his full-time job to concentrate on writing a book on the Mary Rose. Finding it easier to work at night, his routine has changed and he now sleeps during the day. Meanwhile, his wife, Maddy, continues her job as a photographer in order to support them both. Then, one day, much to Jack's horror, Maddy brings home a self-help book with a view to improving what Jack thought was a perfectly happy relationship.
The film is, unusually, set completely in one location (the couple's house) with only the two lead characters seen throughout. By giving the audience a private insight into their lives behind closed doors, the story explores how situations that occur in our outside lives affect us and, in turn, our personal relationships.

Director: Adam Cooper
Year: 2003
Following Yago is a quirky study of married life. It takes the popular genre of romantic comedy and shifts the focus away from the typical 'boy meets girl' scenario to examine how a couple stay together and whether this is the basis of true love. Jack has recently given up his full-time job to concentrate on writing a book on the Mary Rose. Finding it easier to work at night, his routine has changed and he now sleeps during the day. meanwhile his wife, Maddy, continues her job as a photographer in order to support them both. It is nearing their wedding anniversary and they are planning a wedding to celebrate. Then, one day, much to Jack's horror, Maddy brings home a self-help book with a view to improving what Jack thought was a perfectly happy relationship. The film is, unusually, set completely in one location (the couple's house), with only the two lead characters seen throughout. By giving the audience a private insight into their lives behind closed door, the story explores how situations that occur in our outside lives affect us and, in turn, our personal relationships.
Life Is 4 ½ Metres
Director: Jeevan Singh

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.
