Vibrations
Synopsis
In our story the night unfolds and we are introduced to our antagonist Sean, whose curious nature leads him into prohibited spaces. The plot thickens as we continue our story into 2016 with Caleb, now a grandfather, navigating his way through his sound system legacy and guiding his 21 year old grandson, Trojan. Memories of Sean and an illness Caleb bats away lurk underneath his routine catch up with his grandson.
With the aim to shoot a feature film that encapsulates the communal aspect of the Sound System Culture in today’s society, we made this short to tease the viewer into our world. We explore social dynamics, history and a music scene that made an indelible imprint on bass culture in England.

Stop the boats

The Weir
Director: Conor McPherson
Year: 2026
Set in a remote pub in rural Ireland, four local men - Jack, Brendan, Jim, and Finbar - gather for their nightly pints. Their routine is disrupted when Finbar introduces Valerie, a newcomer from Dublin. To impress her, the men trade eerie local folklore and ghost stories. However, the mood shifts profoundly when Valerie reveals the tragic, personal reason for her arrival. Far from a simple thriller, the play is a tender, intimate exploration of deep-seated loneliness, the comfort of shared storytelling, and the delicate human need for connection amidst the isolation of the countryside.
