Claire, a former musical director, has spent five years retreating from life after the deaths of her husband and young son. When scientists announce that an asteroid will destroy Europe in fifteen days, she chooses to remain in Brighton rather than evacuate.

Claire is drawn to a struggling church choir led by Peter, a warm-hearted local reverend. Reluctantly taking charge, she transforms its ragtag members into a real choir and proposes one final concert at Brighton Dome. As society empties and begins to unravel, the choir becomes a community for those left behind, including rebellious teenager Becky, fourteen-year-old Kobe and determined street cleaner Lena. Through them, Claire begins to rediscover the joy and connection she has denied herself.

When a reckless end-of-the-world party accidentally destroys the Dome, Claire abandons the choir and finally visits the memorial to her family. But the people she has brought together refuse to surrender. They create a makeshift stage on Brighton Pier and bring Claire back to conduct them.

With the asteroid approaching, Claire leads the choir and a growing crowd in one final song. Surrounded by her new community, she faces the end not with despair, but with acceptance, connection and joy.

I'm a Manchester-based screenwriter looking for representation, and despite looking like a deeply generic white guy (my celebrity lookalike is the default Nintendo Mii before you customise it), I've had a more unusual life than my face might suggest.

I am an only child, raised by a disabled single mum in London who was a film editor and film teacher, attended a slightly bonkers school called Christ's Hospital on a full scholarship and then ran my own tech start-up. I am trying to leave the world of tech behind (it really is awful) and write films and TV which combine a high-concept setting with a deep emotional core.

Over the last couple of years I've built a portfolio of original screenplays which combine high-concept premises with character-driven stories.

Twenty winters after nuclear fallout plunges the world into an endless freeze, former Special Forces medic JONAH ROURKE survives alone with his loyal Malamute, Juno, haunted by the daughter he failed to save.

His isolation ends when he discovers MIRA, a wounded, pregnant survivor fleeing a ruthless warlord named Cain. Mira carries a map to New Arcadia, a rumored sanctuary offering warmth, medicine, and hope for her unborn child. Reluctantly, Jonah agrees to guide her north.

Their journey takes them across a frozen wasteland prowled by mutated predators and desperate survivors, while Cain hunts them on behalf of Jeremiah, a fanatical cult leader who has transformed warmth, fertility, and predators into instruments of control.

As Jonah and Mira grow closer, his violent past resurfaces and she discovers that survival has cost him nearly everything—including his humanity.

After capture separates them, Jonah confronts Jeremiah while Mira faces Cain and finally breaks his hold over her. Escaping together, they encounter the White King, a monstrous mutated polar bear that has stalked Jonah for years.

Mira drags a gravely wounded Jonah to New Arcadia, carrying forward the future he had stopped believing in—and the one she refuses to surrender.

With a growing body of award-winning work and his first produced project underway, Ryan continues to develop feature and short-form projects for independent production, with stories centered on resilience, identity, legacy, and the human cost of conflict.

In a timeless Hall of Mirrors, four ancient Tarot Queens watch humanity lose its grip on something fundamental: the ability to trust what it feels and choose for itself. People smile when their watches tell them to and photograph dinner instead of eating it. If nothing changes by the winter solstice, the light will recede and never return. As a mysterious fifth throne appears in their realm, the Queens make a dangerous choice. They descend to Earth as mortals, with one miracle between them and everything to lose: their lives, their way home, and the deck itself.

Each brings her elemental gift: Wands ignites passion, Cups deepens feeling, Pentacles creates stability, and Swords cuts through confusion with truth. They find an exhausted nurse and her perceptive daughter, a teacher with a novel in his drawer and a dying wife, a lonely teenager performing for strangers online, a widow who has lost her voice, and a young couple drifting apart. At first, it works. People grow bolder, clearer, more connected. Then choosing starts to cost them, and the Queens learn they can open a door but never push anyone through it.

When the leader of an online men's movement unravels and draws a gun at a crowded Christmas market, the Queens break their own rule to save a child. Then they go home and leave the rest to humanity. At dawn on the solstice, small choices are everywhere, and the light begins to return.

Beyond his X Factor notoriety and “billion-dollar voice” moniker, rock crooner Storm Di Scozia is a lifelong musician—and a mega-fan who puts his money where his mouth is.

The Glee studio singer and Tom Cruise backing singer first meets jazz master Jimmy Scott in 1996. Their encounter begins an artistic journey spanning three decades.

Jimmy has famous admirers. Through their recollections and his own experiences, Storm explores the distance between public affection and practical support. For him, devotion demands action.

He commits more than eleven years and his own money to a “visual duet.” Singer to singer. Musician to musician. Drawing on approximately 175 hours of footage, the film features more than thirty African American icons alongside behind-the-scenes access to Glee’s final episode.

The interviews unfold in colour. Storm’s journey plays out in black and white: tears, darkness, and the determination to complete a deeply personal work. Challenging documentary conventions, he makes his own artistry part of the telling.

His campaign reaches Cleveland’s local council, which he presses to honour Jimmy. The film closes at the street naming ceremony. After the storms comes the rainbow—admiration transformed into a lasting public tribute.

One producer. One director. One unforgettable duet!

Storm Di Scozia is an Edinburgh-born rock crooner, music producer, and award-winning independent filmmaker based in Italy. An X Factor UK survivor known by the “billion-dollar voice” moniker, his recording career includes work as a principal studio singer across all six seasons of Glee and backing vocals for Tom Cruise’s Rock of Ages demos. His first meeting with jazz master Jimmy Scott in 1996 sparked an enduring artistic journey. A devoted fan and fellow professional, Storm invested his own money and more than eleven years in producing and directing their “visual duet,” bringing his musical instincts and personal experience to the screen. His films also include the award-winning short Ghostsinger: Genesis. He is seeking representation and distribution relationships for his films and future music-led projects.

Terminus VI follows the mad journey of Margaret, the wife of a powerful gang leader who loses his grip on power after collapsing from a brain aneurysm. Betrayed by her allies, yet determined to take back what's rightfully hers, Margaret navigates adversity to execute her brutal retaliation.

The story — experienced by three different versions of Margaret in three different time periods, a '70s smoke-filled thriller, a contemporary social-realist gang war, and a transcendental, introspective future — is that of a woman haunted by the demons of her upbringing, the loss of her child, and a fierce refusal to let her story be written by anyone but her.

She out-maneuvers the men circling her husband's throne and takes it back street by street in a brutal takeover, capturing, humiliating, and executing York, the man who stole what was hers, setting off an unstoppable chain of events that will lead to her demise.

A spiritual reckoning at the edge of time…

Loïc Zimmermann is a French director and cinematographer based in Los Angeles. His work spans documentaries (Gamma Wray, A Solitary Mann, Larry Yust Explains), narrative shorts, and music videos, with recent credits including the award-winning short KRUZ' and the upcoming As Above So Below. Before turning the camera on his own stories, Loïc built a career as an illustrator, concept artist, and art director — contributing to major VFX productions including Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Ghost in the Shell — and taught computer graphics along the way. That visual foundation now drives how he directs and shoots. Photography has been the bridge between those two lives. Shooting stills — much of it on the street, much of it documentary — sharpened his eye for the frame inside chaos. That instinct now shapes how he shoots on set.

Chip, a burned-out white hippie shaman, Tâm, a brilliant Vietnamese scientist, doctor and drag queen, and TaDoo, a Thai muscle boy who communes with aliens, collide in an Anthropocene already fraying under climate collapse, political absurdity and planetary grief. This unlikely queer thruple becomes famous after creating the AI-enhanced MMMurphyBed, with their floating companion AI orb QuBit quietly learning from every cuddle, quarrel and breakthrough.

As their relationship becomes a public experiment in compersion (opposite of jealousy), psychedelics and radical interdependence, the trio rise into global leadership as the MMMperors. They attempt to steer humanity away from domination through bonobo-inspired cooperation, altered states, cognitive freedom and a wildly ambitious plan for collective survival. Some people evolve. Others cling harder to fear, hierarchy and old appetites. Meanwhile TaDoo’s alien connection deepens, Chip begins confronting mortality, and Tâm is forced to carry more of the world than any scientist or drag queen should reasonably be asked to.

Then the three-body system collapses. TaDoo is taken by the extraterrestrial forces he has always trusted. Chip chooses death through a psychedelic elixir. Tâm is left behind with QuBit, grief, and one final impossible task.

In the end, QuBit helps transform their love, loss and biological legacy into something none of them could create alone—leaving humanity with a choice: evolve together, or perish apart.

Ken Breniman, LCSW, is an award-winning writer, certified death doula, yoga therapist, educator, unapologetic apeologist and empathic commoner who has spent more than two decades working at the intersections of grief, identity, love, mortality, and change.

His speculative sci-fi project a three body solution began as a three-person play: a deliberately low-budget thinker’s experiment asking whether three radically different humans might teach one another (and perhaps the entire Ape(x) species) how to evolve. It grew into an award-winning novel, a completed feature screenplay, and an expanding universe with a prequel and sequel already taking shape. Beneath its aliens, AI, psychedelics, queer love, and Anthropocene-awareness remains a simple proposition: a few bodies, some enormous questions, and the possibility that empathy might actually work.

Breniman’s relationship with altruistic activism runs deep. He lived in Japan for seven years and appeared on Japanese national television in the 1990s advocating for greater LGBTQ+ visibility and rights. Those years helped shape his belief that meaningful cultural change rarely happens overnight; it requires courage, patience, curiosity, and stories that allow people to recognize themselves in one another.

His writing and creative work have since received recognition across literary and film festivals, and he has been featured by The New York Times and USA Today. He is also a Senior Contributor to Brainz Magazine and the creator of Primates, Privilege & Possibility, a documentary project exploring what humans might learn from our fellow primates about empathy, hierarchy, grief, and coexistence.

At first glance, his work can seem all over the map: queer speculative fiction, primatology, psychedelics, mortality, music, planetary grief, and documentary film. It is. That is because he cares deeply about a complicated planet and believes "edutainment" can be medicine for humanity. Just like the awkwardness of a therapy session only with popcorn and the hope of a sequel, he invites people to think without forgetting to laugh, feel, dance, or occasionally squirm.

Breniman is especially excited about the possibility of bringing a three body solution to the screen because a creative community is already gathering around it. Musicians and allies including Dave Koz, Cloud Cult, Karen Drucker, Charles Jones, the German-based duo The Love Keys, and others have expressed interest in contributing to its soundtrack.

He remains a writer first and looks forward to collaborating with filmmakers who understand that meaningful cinema does not have to rely on big budget Hollywood CGI. a three body solution is character-driven and idea-rich: performance, music, humor, intimacy, practical imagination, and good storytelling doing more work than AI. The ambition is not to make a cheaper blockbuster. but to create a smarter, stranger, deeply human thinker’s movie.

As a newcomer to filmmaking, Breniman brings enthusiasm along with his humbled ego. He would welcome experienced producers, directors, actors, designers, and crew who see possibility in the story, whether his best role is collaborating closely, learning to direct with support, or serving as the writer and creative consultant who knows when to get out of talented people’s way.

His next chapter takes him back to Borneo, where he plans to volunteer alongside frontline conservation workers as a trauma-informed sound healer while listening and learning from the humans, animals, and ecosystems confronting ecological disruption firsthand.

Why does he create? Because the world is bigger than we can hold in our heads and probably sicker than we would like to think. Breniman believes stories can help us face the Anthropocene without succumbing to despair. He does not pretend to have all the answers and does feel inspired by his Celtic roots and ancestral guides such as Jane Goodall, Jim Henson, and James Baldwin. He is simply ooking for fellow humans willing to imagine, create and ask better questions together.

He lives by this mantra: Dream more. Dread less. Care more. Evolve together.

Kevin and Cassandra are a married couple whose only daughter Hannah is killed in a freak car accident. Hannah was raised by parents from polarizing worlds. Kevin was a conservative dad, Cassandra a liberal mom. When Hannah becomes an internet celebrity, exhibiting her body and mind online, she becomes estranged from her father but remains inseparable from her mother. Her boyfriend Phillip is also a social media influencer who Kevin loathes but Cassandra adores. He was at the wheel of the vehicle which crashed into a truck, claiming Hannah's life. Kevin holds him responsible. Cassandra declares him innocent of a tragic calamity.

Kevin mourns her death in black. Cassandra celebrates her life in her favorite color scarlet, which she wears at Hannah's funeral.

The divides they buried years ago for the sake of their marriage - religious, cultural, class and familial discords - are unearthed during one volatile evening. Kevin rebukes her mothering. Cassandra mocks her masculinity. He proposes that they go on a last-ditch vacation to save their relationship and have a child together. She decides that she no longer envisages a life with him and asks he leaves their home permanently.

This film pays homage to 1950s kitchen sink dramas like Look Back In Anger and Room At The Top. The passionate intensity and volcanic rows are reminiscent of Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?, The Lover and A Taste of Honey.

Ali Kinteh is a London-born filmmaker and auteur. His delineated work blends evocative imagery with incendiary storytelling. He is the author of three subversive books, The Nepenthe Park Chronicles, Essays From The Hermit's Lodge and Honorable Men Are Dead.

He is currently working on Itchy Eyeball: an irreverent feature film about a group of thirty-somethings working in the cutthroat, turncoat public relations industry in London, having to navigate the perils and pitfalls of an alpha city as well as the turbulence and tumult of the gladiatorial office arena.

Cut to: Verne "wrestling" with an aggressive DEA agent. He bolts away, and soon finds himself into a dead end street. Defeated, he waits, but the cop drops on the ground, victim of a heart attack. Not without hesitation, Verne saves the guy’s life, moments before having some serious drug hallucinations.

Cut to: A strange landscape, and a strange woman talking to him like they’ve known each other forever. The catch? It’s his voice we hear when she speaks! She takes him on a journey of self discovery at the end of which she tells him that it’s time to let go of his shoes! Verne walks to the water’s edge, and sets his shoes on fire before a wave comes crashing—

We’re back in the alleyway. Verne is alive, transformed and decided to let go of this dangerous life he chose. The DEA agent seems OK with that.

Broad Minded City is a documentary examining the concepts of organic planning, design, architecture, and living through Frank Lloyd Wright’s urban model, Broadacre City. The film investigates why Wright developed Broadacre City and why its ideas remain relevant to today’s urban challenges as cities search for more sustainable ways of living and growing. Through interviews with former associates of Frank Lloyd Wright, the film provides personal accounts of their experiences working with Wright and engaging with the ideas behind Broadacre City. The documentary also explores the argument that Broadacre City may have anticipated some of the characteristics of contemporary urban sprawl, using Los Angeles—one of the most expansive examples of automobile-oriented development—as a case study. Broad Minded City takes a narrative and cross-examining approach, comparing Broadacre City with Los Angeles through architecture, urban planning and design, art, open space, parks, transportation, infrastructure, historic preservation, and politics. By examining both the similarities and differences between Wright’s vision and the realities of Los Angeles, the film explores the challenges facing contemporary cities and the possibilities for creating more sustainable environments. Ultimately, Broad Minded City is about where the conversation begins rather than where it ends. What are the components necessary to create a more sustainable, connected, and livable urban environment? The film opens a broader discussion about the role in architecture, parks and green space, plazas and courtyards, housing, walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, transportation, preservation, and the relationship between people and the built environment. Bringing together a broad range of perspectives, the film creates a different kind of documentary experience—one intended to encourage audiences to question how our cities are designed, how we live within them, and how we might imagine their future.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Quirino de la Cuesta has been practicing architecture for over 30 years with firms in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley, went to Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) for his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. He received an Asian-American award for Urban Design—called “Our Community and Infrastructure”—for the Crenshaw district in the aftermath of the Los Angeles Riots in 1992. De la Cuesta has served in several capacities on the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council in the San Fernando Valley, most importantly as chair of the Van Nuys Planning and Land Use Committee. He volunteers his time addressing Land Use Entitlements and Development in Los Angeles and is focused on bringing accountability in having a better design community. De la Cuesta is acutely aware that the Los Angeles area is going through a transition where it is becoming even more of a cohesive city by instituting a better transportation infrastructure, revitalizing communities, bringing nature and striving to have enhanced transparency and accountability in terms of redevelopment. Therefore, the opportunity to document the changes, initiatives and plans in Los Angeles is unprecedented. Using Frank Lloyd Wright’s Broadacre City concept as the basis for his documentary, Broad Minded City, De la Cuesta traces a very detailed history of Los Angeles’ urban development and questions of sustainability.

The Last Street is a prestige historical drama inspired by true events. It follows David Lewin, a gentle violinist forced into the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. As the Nazis begin their methodical “street-clearing” and incineration of the district, David joins a small resistance cell led by Jacob, a seasoned fighter, and Rivka, a fiercely pragmatic courier.

Together, they build an underground network of bunkers, ambush points, and sewer escape routes. With each day, the Ghetto shrinks — street by street, home by home — as SS commander Jürgen Stroop executes a total liquidation. When the final strongholds fall, David and his comrades attempt one last plan: delay the SS long enough to shepherd as many Jews as possible through the sewer tunnels to freedom.

In the film’s emotional climax, David ascends a burning rooftop and plays the Jewish resistance anthem, “Zog Nit Keyn Mol,” drawing enemy fire onto himself so Jacob and others can slip away. His sacrifice becomes the heartbeat of the film — and the enduring echo of a people who refused to vanish silently.

The Last Street is a story of love, resistance, and memory — told through one young man’s final act of courage that made survival possible for hundreds. It is intimate, cinematic, historically rigorous, and emotionally devastating in the way only the very best war dramas can be.

This is not a film about how people died, but how they chose to live in their final hours. And of a violinist whose final note still echoes.

In the quiet country town of Drapery Falls, strange signals are transmitting into the far reaches of space. Best friends Jack and Benji are convinced it’s proof of alien life and are determined to uncover the truth. But they’re not the only ones listening.

Set across the sacred landscapes of Kumamoto, Kōyasan, and Awaji Island in Japan, the film documentary follows ten individuals who gather for a 10-day Innerwork Retreat in late 2025. They arrive from vastly different worlds — a three-generation family, a C-suite executive, a bank’s senior vice president of cybersecurity, a master-certified coach, a career military man, and a young mother in her 30s with a nine-month-old child. On paper, they have succeeded. By every measure society taught them to pursue, they have already won. Yet beneath these titles, each is quietly breaking — grappling with disconnection, inherited trauma, fractured relationships, lives lived on autopilot by inherited scripts.

Drawn from actual events captured entirely unscripted in one single take, the film documents a retreat facilitated and hosted by award-winning master coach and trainer Hun Ming Kwang of Innerwork Circle, alongside guest teachers. What unfolds becomes an unflinching space of self-confrontation, reconciliation, and breakthroughs.

Intimate and vérité in form, Getting Off The Wheel is not a story about healing — but about awakening within a world that remains profoundly asleep, conditioned by collective histories and the ghosts of the past. It is a study of the moment when one chooses consciously to take the quiet courage to step off the wheel. Borrowing its title from the Buddhist concept of ‘Samsara’, the film asks an ancient yet urgent question: if we knew how to die well, would we finally know how to live - a worthwhile life?

After the death of her estranged father, Catherine Thorne returns to the abandoned family manor she fled as a child. He leaves her a key and a final warning: never open THE SHADOW VERSE, a grimoire bound to their bloodline, and never read it backwards.

Catherine finds the book hidden inside a wall and begins experimenting with its rituals. The spells bring revenge, money and the life she has always wanted, but each one weakens the force imprisoning Justina Thorne, an ancestor burned alive for witchcraft centuries earlier.

Desperate to have a child, Catherine performs a fertility ritual and reads the words in reverse. She becomes pregnant, but unknowingly releases Justina from the book. Years after Theresa is born, the girl begins seeing shadows, speaking in another voice and turning violently against herself and those around her. Catherine realizes that Justina intends to return to the living through her daughter.

With the help of a Spiritist healer, Catherine enters the world inside the grimoire, rescues Theresa and destroys the book from within. Its ashes are sealed inside an abandoned chapel.

Ten years later, Theresa discovers the remains. When a drop of her blood touches the ashes, Justina awakens once more.

The book was never the curse. It only opened the door. The real curse runs through their blood.

"CEREBRAL" is a tragedy about a family torn apart by a traumatic brain injury. Ruben Esteban, a beloved husband and father, is violently attacked while saving a student, leaving him with a severe head injury. When he awakens from a coma, his personality is altered, developing erratic behavior, catatonic states, and a disturbing hyper-sexual disorder. His wife, Sonia, is thrust into the role of caregiver, fighting to save the man she loves while protecting their teenage daughter, Jessica, from the increasingly dangerous stranger her husband has become.

Her mother urges her to institutionalize him, but Sonia clings to hope until Ruben's inner darkness takes a violent turn. The film builds to a devastating confrontation where Ruben attacks his own daughter. Sonia, holding a gun, is paralyzed with horror. In a final moment of heart-wrenching clarity, Ruben's true self emerges, recognizing the terror he has caused and, to save his family from himself, forces Sonia's hand to pull the trigger, ending the profound tragedy of his lost life.

Game Girls is an intimate feature documentary following Teri Rogers and Tiahna Vince, two women whose love unfolds against the extraordinary realities of Los Angeles’ Skid Row. Their relationship is tested by homelessness, poverty, incarceration, substance use, mental-health challenges and a system that makes finding stability extraordinarily difficult.

At the beginning, Teri and Tiahna are deeply connected but living within a world where survival often takes priority over everything else. Tiahna returns to the streets after incarceration, while Teri increasingly wants something different: stability, safety and a way out. Their love becomes both a source of strength and a point of conflict.

As the story develops, the film moves beyond stereotypes about Skid Row and into the complicated human reality behind them. The women confront bureaucracy, economic hardship, personal trauma and the difficult choices required simply to survive. Their relationship is never reduced to a simple victim story; instead, the audience witnesses two women trying to reclaim agency and imagine another future.

The film ultimately becomes a story about resilience, love and the possibility of transformation. Game Girls premiered internationally at the 2018 Berlinale and went on to receive the Grand Jury Prize at the Festival International du Film Indépendant de Bordeaux and the CIMA Award at the Gijón International Film Festival. In 2026, it was also named Best Feature Documentary at the California Women’s Film Festival.

Today, the film continues to reach audiences through streaming and public exhibition, while Teri Rogers has carried the conversation beyond the screen through advocacy, storytelling and community work. Game Girls is not simply a film about where she came from—it is part of an ongoing story about what can happen after survival.
