About A Bell

Sami, a Syrian refugee in the UK, and Bryony, an aimless young librarian, embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished Christian church. What begins as a civic protest quickly becomes a criminal case when they accidentally near fatally injure a security guard, and find themselves on the run from the police.

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.
