White Island
Synopsis
When Connor's best friend becomes innocently embroiled in the plans of a gang in Ibiza, Connor is the only one who can help him, but it means returning to the island where he worked a few years earlier, and has avoided since the tragic death of another friend.
Once back, Connor is reunited with Leo, his former boss and mentor. A 60 year old American draft dodger turned hippy. Only thing is, Leo is trying to kill himself. Amongst the mayhem of exploding villas, underwater drops and the attractions of a gorgeous diving instructor, Connor and Leo's journeys teach them some valuable life lessons. For Leo it is that every day is precious. For Connor, that his life in London is not as perfect as it seems, and that if he deals with his past, there is only one place he'll ever be truly happy...Ibiza. All he has to do is stay alive long enough to enjoy it.

Fair
Director: Benjamin Turner
Year: 2027
A group of teenage boys become entangled in a series of escalating "games" built around a single rule: don’t flinch. What begins as playful competition gradually shifts into something more controlled, more psychological, and more dangerous. As the boundaries blur, each boy is forced to navigate power, performance, and the pressure to appear unbreakable. FAIR explores how identity is shaped under pressure, and what it takes to hold your ground in a world where showing weakness isn’t an option.
All Eyes on Me
Director: Benjamin Turner
Year: 2027
When five teenage boys go viral after a rap performance, a humiliating moment is filmed and shared online, unleashing the unforgiving judgment of the internet.
Sausage Rolls & Jollof Rice
Director: Benjamin Turner
Year: 2026
On a chaotic London film set, tensions simmer between a rising Black actor, a frustrated sound man, and an ambitious young director. Between takes, cultural clashes, class anxieties, and hidden insecurities bubble to the surface - all over a table of sausage rolls and jollof rice. A sharp, darkly comic meta-film exploring identity, tokenism, and the politics of ‘representation’ in the British film industry. As the line between the film-within-the-film and reality begins to blur, each character is forced to confront who really gets to tell their story - and what’s left on the cutting-room floor when ‘diversity’ becomes performance, and identity itself becomes the role.
