SHORT FILM SCREENING
AS PALE AS DEATH
15m | Ryan Kukec
The year is 1997. Fresca, Maxim Magazine and Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil flow like wine, and the Kukecs are getting ready for a family vacation to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But Ryan, their 10-year-old son, is pale as heck and needs a base tan.
GOOD DOG

An agoraphobic man travels to a remote property to collect a puppy, but on discovering the lonely seller has no dog, he realises there are far worse places to be than outside.
MOULD - SNAILS
3m | Martyn Thomas
Zombies are not always trying to kill you, sometimes they just want to party.
THE FACE
8m | Andreas Mortensen
Mia tries to break up with Tim, but isn't honest about her feelings. Instead she lets a sock puppet do the talking. But at night, the reason why she's afraid of being blunt is made apparent when Tim's true face, the way only she sees him, is revealed.
COCOON
22m | Jack Chambers
A family's lives are disrupted when an unstable stranger, Viktor, invades their home, holding them hostage within their own house. Viktor torments the family by forcing them to role play as his own family, twisting the dynamics to fit the image of his own picturesque family life.
HARD CASH
