Goodnight Jennifer
Director: Simon Tatum
Year: 2004
Somewhere in London, two people tired of being alone, find themselves chatting on a dateline. As they talk their confidence grows. They both begin to talk about themselves in more elaborate and exaggerated ways. Finally they agree to meet. The initial excitement evaporates as reality kicks in. They can't possibly live up to the ridiculous images they have created in each others minds - or can they? (Written, shot and edited within 48 hours).
The Short Life of Jaxon Blume
Director: Oliver Walker
Year: 2026
Two brothers embark on the journey of a lifetime to see the ocean, all while being hunted down by a detective for a murder they may or may not have committed.
Folk to Folk
Director: Saoirse Crean
Year: 2026
Led by renowned vocal coach Jennifer John, Folk to Folk follows a group of women in Liverpool who use traditional folk songs to build unexpected connections across cultures. As they learn and sing in Gaelic, Romansh, Boro and other languages, the sessions uncover shared themes that unite us. The songs rise like ghosts from the past, stirring memories, laughter and tears, and opening a safe space for the women to reflect together. “This project proves that music is a universal language. It allows us to feel, to be emotional, and when we do that together… that’s where the power lies” - Jennifer John
