This Bastard Business

Synopsis

A surreal black comedy concerning the institutionalised racism of the film industry. We follow Vinod, a frustrated young Asian actor auditioning for yet another stereotypical bit-part. Fired up with revolutionary fervour, Vinod launches into a furious tirade at his self-satisfied tormentors, the results of which might not be as great as they first appear.

The Devil's Business The Devil's Business

Director: Sean Hogan

Year: 2011

Two hit men are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss. Middle-aged Pinner is the been-there-done-that cynical veteran, while his new inexperienced partner Cully is about as green as they come. Waiting for their mark to return home, and irritated by Cully’s constant nervous chatter, Pinner attempts to pass the time by telling a strange story from his past, involving Valentina, a dancer he was once ordered to kill… But things are not all what they seem in their quarry’s house and the discovery of a make-shift black magic altar - and its shocking sacrifice - sends the uncomprehending duo into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls and terrifying confrontations with their worst primal fears.

Lie Still Lie Still

Director: Sean Hogan

Year: 2006

It seemed like the kind of house where no one asked you any questions. It was old and rambling, in need of a little renovation, certainly. But quiet. Somewhere to begin again. But from the moment he moved in, it didn't feel right to John. He'd been through a lot recently. And there were those who said there had always been something a little strange about him. It's true, he'd always suffered from nightmares, but these were different. Besides, those noises outside his door were definitely real. Or seemed to be. The mad old woman next door had told him to leave, but he hadn't listened. Now it might be too late. The dreams were getting worse, and the doors didn't seem to lead where they should anymore. His new home had a hold on him now, and the other tenants were ready to introduce themselves. Welcome to the house.
