STOPPED.

A short documentary is currently in the works.

Female. Real. Raw.

Every time another chapter of a woman’s journey closes, new versions of self must be birthed but they don’t just arrive. They are to be invented, carefully understood and then embodied. Some are easier than others, more socially acceptable, more talked about.

Periods, fertility, motherhood, menopause and then ….the bit after that.

The quiet bit that’s harder to explain. Reductively couched ‘empty nest syndrome’ STOPPED explores that very quiet bit after that. A candid exploration of an underrepresented stage of womanhood.

MAYA & AMIRA.

Currently in early post-production.

A story of two sisters, risking everything to find freedom.

Some films entertain.

Some films resonate.

Maya & Amira promises to do both.

Sticks & Shelter is a feature documentary about, homeless musician Micky Donnovan and his unlikely friendship with ex Manchester United legend Lou Macari.

Set in a city unfairly maligned in the media, a dream dares to rise. This is a story of hope, the power of friendship and the music that brings us together.

Post Production is now underway!

PETER.

A story about memory, identity, and the quiet ways we find our way back to each other.

Peter is a deeply personal, slice-of-life short exploring the fragile bond between a father with alcohol-induced Alzheimer’s and his trans son, now his carer.

As the roles of parent and child reverse, both are forced to confront who they are - and who they have been. For Peter, the challenge is clinging to a sense of self as memory fragments. For Elliot, it’s reconciling a past where his father never fully embraced his identity.

The film lingers in the tension between forgetting and acceptance, vulnerability and connection. Asking whether reconciliation can come not through remembering, but through finally seeing each other as they truly are.

Peter is a story of dignity, love, and what it means to be fully acknowledged in our most authentic state.

ROY

Living a quiet, isolated life, widower Roy (BAFTA winner David Bradley) spends his days calling strangers from the phone book - just looking for a moment of human connection.

A wrong number leads him to Cara (Rachel Shenton), an adult chat line worker, and what begins as an awkward exchange soon turns into something unexpected - a friendship that brings warmth and meaning back into both their lives.

ROY is a beautifully tender and uplifting short film about loneliness, hope, and the power of connection.

Now streaming on YouTube.

We’re proud to share that The Dartmoor Cowboy has its World Premiere at the New York Shorts International Film Festival this week.

This film has been a labour of love from the start, an ode to resilience, identity, and the landscapes that shape us. From its striking visuals to its deeply human performances, The Dartmoor Cowboy captures the quiet poetry of isolation and belonging.

We’re incredibly proud of the creative team behind it and can’t wait for audiences to experience this story for the first time on the international stage.

📍 Premiering this month at New York Shorts International Film Festival.
