Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.

She Sings of Murder and Love is an anti-true-crime documentary, told as a musical through a feminist lens, a story like no other. An anti-true-crime documentary, told as a musical, an unapologetically feminist, cinematic portrayal of Irish singer-song writer, Keeley Moss. Every song Keeley writes and performs celebrates the life of, and demands justice for, Inga Maria Hauser, a young German backpacker, sexually assaulted and murdered in Northern Ireland in 1988. As the facts of Inga Maria's case migrate from Keeley's meticulous campaigning blog into her songs, the Director ‘investigates the investigator’. Capturing Keeley's fever dream of Inga Maria’s intense week of adolescent freedom, before she became a 'murder victim', we discover the unexpected, profound gifts that Inga Maria has rewarded Keeley's dedication with.
