US Begins With You

Synopsis

The British career of an American sports therapist is going nowhere, in fact it has ground to a halt and he contemplates a return to the United States. Young widow, Suzanne, is the proud mother of underachiever, Ben and six year old Natalie. Whilst she worries about Ben, her friends worry about her and frequently meet to confer on her future and find her a new romance. Meanwhile friend and philanderer, Frank, a dentist who practices hypno-therapy, uses this method to further his chances with Suzanne. However, in the tradition of all the best romantic comedies, nothing goes according to plan...

Two girls in maroon school uniform sit against mustard yellow lockers doing homework and sharing an orange. Lady Macbeth Was Never a Girl

Director: Francesca McBride

Year: 2026

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit. Through a missing pair of joggers, an unexpected line from Macbeth, and the quiet rituals of uniforms, registers, and school corridors, this film traces the first flickers of identity forming - not through revelation, but recognition.
