Project Detail

Slumber Party

Synopsis

5 girls, 1 house, big mistake! Confused, foggy and possibly insane, Simon was once a successful businessman who was thrown into pop management by chance. PR guru and Elvis lookalike, Keith, recognises Simon's strengths (his pop band), and his weakness (his own mental stability) and carefully manipulates them both for his own ends.

Wooed by the possibility of big time stardom, Aussie girl group, The Sheila's, are persuaded by Simon and Keith to stay overnight in the UK's most haunted house as part of a charity stunt. The event is filmed live and is linked to a studio debate. The usual TV 'experts' are assembled - physic, shaman, psychologist, historian and ghost hunter - in the studio to watch the action in the haunted house and debate the ethics of such a fundraising campaign. As a publicity stunt it was a brilliant idea, but no-one bargained for the fact that the house really is haunted and the studio panel plus a national audience watch the events unfold with unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Half of the movie was filmed in a haunted house in Suffolk, England, and much of what was shot was unexpected, alarming and makes very compelling viewing.

Galicia! Galicia!

Director: Anna Maguire, Kyle Greenberg

Year: 2026

What if you went on a holiday and the apocalypse happened? GALICIA! is a found-footage, hybrid-documentary following a couple through home video footage as they visit their friends at a winery in rural Spain and inadvertently capture the end of days. We live in a time where the sense of our impending mutually assured destruction is more real than it’s ever been. GALICIA! Takes the form of a holiday video - a document of a couple before - and after the great cataclysm. The film starts as something that feels unedited - an accidental video diary of an ordinary couple that feels somewhat ghostly as much as it is also pedestrian. As the film evolves and degrades, we are led to question the fragility of humanity, as well as its power to endure.
