Happily Ever After

Synopsis

Heather and Sarah Ann were inseparable when they were little. They told each other every secret. They knew they would be best friends forever... But then they grew up.
Now Heather is forced to return to her hometown when her father becomes ill. The cynical urbanite hates everything about the place she grew up – especially her bubbly childhood friend Sarah Ann. But Sarah Ann thinks they can be best friends again, and insists that Heather film the video for her dream wedding to a local policeman. Heather is convinced that the two young women have nothing in common – but what is going on between Sarah Ann and that handsome married man Heather once loved? And is Heather’s devil-may-care father really having an affair with Sarah Ann’s uptight mother, the wife of the Police Chief?
As the big day approaches Heather finds that no one is quite what they seem – especially the old friend she thought she knew better than anyone.
A rollicking comedy-drama about secrets and weddings – and best friends forever.

British-Mexican woman sat on her bed with a tray on her drawing a comic. Chasing Home

Director: Christopher Mills

Year: 2026

A British-Mexican comedy, the first one of its kind in terms of representation, about identity, family dynamics, and the relentless pressure to “have it all together” by your 30s. The film explores the universal themes of self-worth, envy, and societal expectations, while asking a core question: What makes someone a failure in the eyes of themselves and others? At its heart, this is the story of Camila, a 30-year-old British-Mexican comic book creator whose life is spiralling out of control. As she faces a job loss, mounting financial pressure, and the revelation that her 51-year-old mother is unexpectedly pregnant, Camila's desperation grows. She’s torn between familial obligations and her own dreams of independence, symbolised by a flat she can no longer afford. Her personal journey is a chaotic and sometimes humorous collision of cultural expectations, family dysfunction, and her own insecurities.
