Project Detail

Unhallowed Ground

Synopsis

A group of students from single-sex private schools, spend a night patrolling the eerie grounds of the historic Dhoultham School as part of an initiative with the British Army to provide rich kids with basic military training.

As each hour passes the teenagers witness a series of increasingly disturbing, ghostly occurrences. Personal conflicts are magnified and details of the school’s horrific secrets bubble to the surface.

The ante is upped by two thieves who have chosen the night to conduct a heist on the school Archive: a vault of priceless historical documents.

As the supernatural encounters begin to take a malevolent turn, the students realise they must escape Dhoultham before the night's end...

The only problem is they have all been separated; trapped in a labyrinth of ghosts, pistol-packing madmen and a deeper, darker evil.

My Little Blue Heart My Little Blue Heart

Director: Iqbal Mohammed

Year: 2026

In a near future in rural Britain, Mustafa cares for his deaf sister, Amna, spending their days together in their hidden, isolated home. One morning, anti-immigration vigilantes descend, tearing them apart and leaving each to navigate fear, loss, and the quiet brutality of a world shaped by far-right policies. Amna escapes and searches for her brother, moving through the fields with determination, only to witness a horrific event. A meditation on family, the unbreakable ties between siblings, and the devastating cycles of violence that fracture lives. Against the backdrop of systemic oppression, the film explores how hate divides families, how love endures, and how the human heart persists even in the face of destruction.
