The Last Hours Of Laura K

Synopsis

Who killed Laura Kitchens?
Today was meant to be all about building bridges with her sister, but after a late night flirtation and an early morning work call, Laura Kitchens' life is about to change in ways she could never imagine. As the ticking clock counts down the hours till her death can she solve the mystery of who is stalking her, help her sister not repeat the same mistakes she made and assist her boss in saving the mysterious SaturnEye deal that hangs in the balance?
Shot in real time using found footage of Laura’s final day, this is an immersive murder mystery that merges social media and film. Viewers are able to access Laura and the other characters via Facebook, Twitter,

Using 24 hours of footage from the fictional surveillance programme SATURNEYE, the film is a disconcertingly intimate, unfiltered and impartial look into Laura's last hours before her death.

Tomato Soup Tomato Soup

A dog in a crudely made fox costume is sat being fed by a yellow marigold glove on the end of a wooden pole. A Skulk in London

Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright

Year: 2018

The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.

I Only Do Real Things I Only Do Real Things

Director: James Stephen Wright, George Finlay Ramsay

Year: 2020

Following the threefold journey of a rock through distinct layers of reality. June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? With narration from the rock in its mother tongue (usefully subtitled), it plays in the parallel mirror-image universe as hypothesised by a prophetic laminitic Shetland Pony based in Perthshire. Like a stoney Virgil, the rock guides us through its attempts to do only the realest of things.
