The Letter
Synopsis
The story is based on true events with fictionalised characters. "Deaf people like the ones in ‘The Letter’ were really at the forefront of the Nazi euthanasia machine, Nazis were so ruthlessly efficient at exterminating deaf and disabled people that a lot of stories were lost.” Justin Edgar
THE LETTER was produced by Justin Edgar, who is hard of hearing, and directed by Sam Dore, with an entire cast and crew of deaf artists.

The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
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.
