Project Detail

The Show

Synopsis

Young TV actress and household celebrity Chloe Collins has quit the TV show that made her name and is making her stage debut in an offbeat production of Oscar Wilde's Salomé. Directed by a New York wunderkind fresh from a major Broadway success, and produced by an award-winning theatre company, the stakes are high, not just for Chloe.
The fact that she can't even seem to learn her lines doesn't exactly help. When she suffers a personal tragedy a week before opening night, the mounting media attention surrounding the project intensifies. Chloe has a lot to prove to a lot of people, right in the glare of the public eye.

Burnt Toast is a contemporary ghost story that resurrects legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper, who famously died mid-performance in 1984. Blending machine learning, VHS footage, archival materials, and a trained impersonator, the film follows Phil, an unemployed magician trapped in the decaying home of the director’s late schizophrenic uncle. Phil’s hallucinatory act navigates the alienation of late capitalism, touching on social class, identity, mental health, and delusion—all punctuated by his trademark jokes and failed magic tricks.

Deeply, Madly

Director: Helen Anna Flanagan

Year: 2022

A woman muses on what it is to fall. To fall flat, heavily in love, deep into sleep, or into a holiday pool that time on a faraway Greek Island at 2am. Waves keep crashing, summoning Deeply, Madly as an obsession with moments of being mid-motion — bodies, emotions and time that all succumb to gravitational forces.
