Hello You

Synopsis

Hello You is contemporary and challenging; elements of a road movie, a drugs trip, a rock festival, an office party. It follows the highs and lows in the lives of Frank, Michael, Monica, Paul, Natalie and Lillian over two summer weeks. Each experience in turn is passionate, true to life and richly human; a galaxy of eccentric and loveable characters with Frank at its centre - Frank, 35, his rock-guitar fuelled music career has been on the verge-of-exploding ever since he can remember. He and Michael, 33 have never found success beyond the shed-cum-studio at the bottom of Michael's garden. The two best friends are striving to create the perfect demo tape to get the attention of the music companies.

Hello you is a dynamic kaleidoscope of contemporary Britain: A generation raised to be pop-stars face the aching void between the person they are and the person they thought they would be.

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.
