Kin Dread (2021)
Edge of your seat thriller that keeps you guessing till the very end
Intense thriller with elements of Hitchcock, Lynch and Nolan but with its own unique voice. A slowly unfolding mystery that keeps you gripped throughout. Strong performances and killer sound design. A thoroughly entertaining indie.
The Berlin Bride (2019)
Beautifully Eccentric
A quirky, amusing avant garde film with beautiful art direction and production deign. A relief from the boredom of Hollywood summer blockbusters.
Purdah (2018)
Heartwarming and inspiring doc.
Inspiring documentary about female empowerment and cricket. A fascinating insight into the struggles and triumphs of living out your dreams no matter your cultural surroundings. A human story handled with sensitivity.
The Stalker (2020)
Entertaining 80's genre piece
Fans of 80's Horror will get a kick out of this firmly tongue in cheek genre flick. A family's worst nightmare beautifully shot.
