My First Wedding

Synopsis

When gorgeous bride-to-be Vanessa Sinclair (Rachael Leigh Cook, She's All That) starts fantasizing about every man she sees, she seeks refuge in the church confessional. After pouring out her soul to the priest inside, Vanessa asks him to stay by her side to help her remain faithful until the big day. However, the man she believes to be a priest is actually the sexy local carpenter repairing the confessional. Before you can say 'mistaken identity', motorcycle-riding ladies-man Nick Francis (Kenny Doughty, Crush) has transformed himself into 'Father Nick' to seduce the blushing bride. But lust quickly turns into love, and the fake priest must find a way to stop the wedding and reveal his true identity before he loses the woman of his dreams forever.

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

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.
