I Want Candy

Synopsis

Our heroes have a dream - in this case, to make a movie. Frustrated by their college lecturer, wannabe producer Joe and his talented but neurotic director friend Baggy head to London to sell what they know is a script made of gold. Encountering nothing but closed doors, their luck changes when an equally desperate producer (and general lowlife) is willing to bung them some cash - but only if they can nab the right star, the legendary porn actress Candy Fiveways. Against all odds they manage to secure her services but it's not long before trouble heads their way. Making a groundbreaking graduation film with scenes of an adult nature in your parents' house was never going to be easy. Will Joe and Baggy successfully wrap their DIY skinflick and is there a possibility of finding real love along the way?

Savage House 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.

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.
