You're Fired

Synopsis

In a small quiet town in the north-east of England, there is a murder. A sports journalist who hates sport quits his job. A bouncer is fired for 'bouncing'. And a girl is jilted at the altar. These seemingly random events spiral together when the three accidentally bump into each other in the same pub. As the girl drowns her sorrows, the writer works on a crime script, and the bouncer starts talking, little do they know that someone is listening. Now all three are entangled with a beautiful widow, a suitcase full of money, an ever-increasing body-count, and a dubious pint of semi-skimmed. Will the bouncer ever get his hands on the money? Will the bride ever find out what happened to her husband-to-be? Will the writer ever live down last year's under-12s five-a-side mascot fiasco? Will they even survive a murder case they're not supposed to be involved in? Soon all will be revealed, and delivered straight to your doorstep!

No Women No Children No Women No Children

Director: Akporé Uzoh

Year: 2026

The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.

Virginia Wool's Night & Day Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

Director: Tina Gharavi

Year:

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!

A Visit to Grandpa’s A Visit to Grandpa’s

Director: DJ Caruso

Year:

A VIST TO GRANDPA'S is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story. When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. With Hopkins set to deliver a career- defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
