Itch

Synopsis

Itch follows Nathan McCarthy through three days of his life he wanders alone, along the streets of his depressing industrial town – he has chance meetings with strangers – he bumps into an old friend in a pub, Paul Chapple, who turns out to be a local small-time drug dealer and the catalyst in changing his life.

Nathan has been suffering from years of manic depression. He has been in and out of institutions but nothing has helped him so far – he is a man on the edge and is to become totally unbalanced through a series of seemingly random events.

Nathan has an itch he can’t scratch. This is the story of how he comes to terms with his problems and how he deals with it all in his own special way. His therapy is about to begin.

Benz Workshop Mrs Benz

Director: Eloise Singer

Year: 2025

Mrs Benz brings to life the remarkable true story of Bertha Benz, a pioneer who defied societal expectations and risked everything to prove her husband Karl Benz’s revolutionary invention, the world’s first motorcar, to the world. Set in 1888 Germany, the experience centres on Bertha’s daring 120-kilometre journey, undertaken in secret and against the conventions of her time. What began as an act of quiet defiance became a turning point in global innovation, reshaping history itself. Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Eloise Singer and starring Daisy Ridley, this narrative-driven VR experience premiered in competition at Venice Film Festival, and went on to premiere at Cannes, SXSW, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Berlin. The project is now regarded as a significant work in immersive storytelling, bringing to light the story of a woman long overlooked in the history of innovation.
