Films:

Finn - Two young boys, Indy and Finn, bond over imaginative filmmaking adventures in the forest of their childhood. Indy, a spirited boy captures their playful battles against 'make-believe' beasts, while Finn, his quieter companion, finds courage in their shared escapades. As separation looms, their bond is tested, forcing them to confront the bittersweet truths of growing up and letting go.

Hermit - On the fringes of civilisation, Paul lives alone in a decaying caravan, having rejected the modern world in pursuit of quiet isolation. But when his estranged son George arrives, Paul's fragile sanctuary is disturbed. What follows is a fleeting, final chance for connection, a moment in which Paul must confront the role he never learned to fill. Hermit is a quiet tragedy about a fatherhood unfulfilled, where the silence between two men says more than either ever could.

Hot Plasic - Over 24 chaotic hours at a music festival, a portable toilet becomes an unexpected stage to observe the highs and lows of human life.

Buring Horizons - Set over the course of one spring day, two teenage boys tackle the guilt of their love as their parents farms are threatened with collapse when foot and moth disease infects their farms.
