A man on parole, a struggling mother, and a pair of drug-dealing brothers each become part of a dizzying multiplicity of plots, but one story. A working class drama focusing on social mobility, disillusionment, and the struggles of working class people. Seen through the perspectives of three characters, the film is loosely based on real life events and uses a mixture of professional and first time actors.

Nosebleed Nosebleed

Director: Gage Oxley

Year: 2026

Exploring the deepest, darkest facets of online life through the eyes of Victor - a content reviewer for the largest social media networks, and prospective paraphilic serial killer. Faced with watching the most explicit, deranged and inhumane aspects of the world around him, Victor slowly ingratiates himself into a dark-web subculture promoting and creating sexually 'perverse' content, utilising modern technologies such as AI and hidden cameras to satisfy their members. It's the age old question - is evil driven by nature or nurture?
