For Fox Sake For Fox Sake

Director: Minha Kim

Year: 2024

An injured boy in the woods. An eccentric groundsman. They’re mortal enemies. They just don’t know it yet. Set over one long night in the English countryside, injured animal rights activist Cameron is tended to by the kind, if bizarre, farmhand Paul – who, he is about to learn, is the local Terrier Man. The encroaching reveal about who each other are unwittingly sets them deep into a paranoid spiral with a grisly end. Official Selection HollyShorts Film Festival 2024

The Baby Factory is Closed The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
