Synopsis
Aged 13 Lucy attempts to get away from her dysfunctional family, an ever arguing step dad, mum and her dull teenage life by meeting up with a '16 year old boy' on a blind date with her shy friend Becks.
Dumping her friend along the way she waits in a restaurant for Tony dressed and made up as a young woman out to catch a man. The boy she has exchanged salacious text messages with turns out to be Tony who is closer to 40 than 16.
Lucy's not concerned, maybe she always knew it. He's concerned, then infatuated. She flirts, she plays games, she's witty, feisty and outrageous, but in control. There's no doubt they get on. She asks him to take her back to his place and he does.

Savage House
Director: Peter Glanz
Year: 2026
England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.

Fair
Director: Benjamin Turner
Year: 2027
A group of teenage boys become entangled in a series of escalating "games" built around a single rule: don’t flinch. What begins as playful competition gradually shifts into something more controlled, more psychological, and more dangerous. As the boundaries blur, each boy is forced to navigate power, performance, and the pressure to appear unbreakable. FAIR explores how identity is shaped under pressure, and what it takes to hold your ground in a world where showing weakness isn’t an option.
