The Dealer
Synopsis
The Dealer, normally a clear headed lateral thinker, is suddenly behaving totally out of character, and so begins the strangest 24 hours any one has ever witnessed from him. A crazy day unfolds in which he succeeds in ruining his sister's wedding, disrupting other gangland leaders and turning his hand to gambling on ludicrous bets. Slowly but surely, the dealer is dangerously offending and taunting everyone around him.
Could The Dealer be on the brink of self-destruction? Or will he somehow succeed in saving his own skin at the final hour, while revealing to all the secrets of the letter that has clearly been dictating his bizarre behaviour?

The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
