The Return
Synopsis
When Jack returns to London after three years in exile he immediately goes in search of his next job. On discovering that his old connections have gone cold he sets about making his own luck and decides to target rich business people in the city. This is where he meets Laura who introduces him to the ideal mark - a rich gangster called Duke.
Using inside knowledge from his new partner Laura, Jack executes the heist - but something goes wrong and the job is a failure. Jack, though, is not one to miss an opportunity for serious money. So when a campaign of brutality and intimidation comes knocking on Jack’s door he decides to confront Duke and meet him head on.
The violence escalates as Laura is caught in the cross fire and Jack is dragged out to a quarry and left for dead. He must fight for his life against an enemy who is far more powerful and devious than he could ever have imagined, sending him on a collision course with a catastrophic secret.

Mrs Benz
Director: Eloise Singer
Year: 2025
Mrs Benz brings to life the remarkable true story of Bertha Benz, a pioneer who defied societal expectations and risked everything to prove her husband Karl Benz’s revolutionary invention, the world’s first motorcar, to the world. Set in 1888 Germany, the experience centres on Bertha’s daring 120-kilometre journey, undertaken in secret and against the conventions of her time. What began as an act of quiet defiance became a turning point in global innovation, reshaping history itself. Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Eloise Singer and starring Daisy Ridley, this narrative-driven VR experience premiered in competition at Venice Film Festival, and went on to premiere at Cannes, SXSW, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Berlin. The project is now regarded as a significant work in immersive storytelling, bringing to light the story of a woman long overlooked in the history of innovation.
