Extn. 21 Extn. 21

Director: Lizzie Oxby

Year: 2004

Orman is having a fruitless conversation on his mobile phone. He is running back to his office but getting nowhere. If he could just get through to Mr Langley everything will be resolved but someone (or something) is intercepting his calls.   The film uses an innovative blend of atmospheric stop-frame animation, live action performance and digital effects to create a dark world of uncertain reality.

Director: Lizzie Oxby

Year: 2010

A daydream to remind me of the joy of the New York skyline. A kind note: Manhattan 4.33pm is made with three photographic stills which I brought to life and is part of my "Daydreams" ongoing series of short films. Please feel free to view the rest too. Many thanks.

Benz Workshop 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.
