Project Detail

Tooting Broadway

Synopsis

Tooting Broadway, is a film about what we are willing to do for the people we love, but deeper than that it focuses on the way we live our lives and the choices we feel we must make to survive. What is important to you? Your country, your family or your friends? Can you serve more than one master or must you choose?

2009, on the eve of the Tamil Parliament Protests, a mother reaches out to her estr...anged son, Arun, to return home to stop his younger brother from making a potentially catastrophic decision. Meanwhile, a seemingly meaningless murder will have profound consequences for Arun, his old friends and his family.

Arun has 24 hours to make things right, but his commitment to his new life is tested as old loyalties are brought to the fore and threaten to drag Arun into a world he has sworn to leave behind him.

Two women hold each other's gaze and hands with a gift box between them. Fish & Chips

Director: Macadie Amoroso

Year: 2026

Fab plans a surprise for Cassie on their first anniversary, but Cassie's rough day, coupled with a party popper mishap, leads to a heated argument over dinner options. What starts as a takeaway tiff over Caribbean or pizza spirals into an identity battle, revealing deep-seated resentments about their racial and queer identities. With half of the film shot in one take, FISH & CHIPS is a tender, unflinching exploration of mixed-heritage identity, queer love, and the fine line between connection and conflict.
