Lydia Brass is a famous stage actress who has played the lead in her father's plays for more than half her life. He is the World-renowned playwright, Sir Rowland Brass. Now in her early thirties, Lydia is determined not to work for her father any longer for reasons she initially won’t disclose. She also no longer wants to act, but when she develops a relationship with an ambitious American playwright living in London, and ultimately marries him, he gradually coerces her back on stage. It is by returning to the stage that she finds herself caught in a nasty and manipulative game where she doesn’t know whether to believe: her prestigious father, her husband, a writer who is a plain old nobody, or no one altogether.<br /> The Silver Goat is the first film created for the iPad and the 1st to be released as an app in the UK, Europe and Latin America.

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
