One is a henchman (Gary Stretch) for a successful, yet shady businessman (Stephen Rea). The other is a prime candidate for Prime Minister (Adrian Paul).
In a world where none can be trusted and loyalty is rarer, our conflicted hero (Gary Stretch) has a once-in-a-lifetime chance for revenge against his estranged family (Christopher Lee and Jean Marsh). But he must confront the truths of their dark past, even as he's being hunted by a psychotic detective (Vinnie Jones).

Black Church Bay
Director: Rhys Marc Jones
Year: 2026

A Time Before
Director: Leo Metcalf
Year: 2024
Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
