Our latest and most ambitious short yet takes us in a new, weirder direction, a new take on the sisters of Shakespeare’s King Lear that incorporates physical theatre and a more purely visual approach than we've ever attempted before. At the whim of a tyrannical god-like father and trapped in a deadly cycle of sibling rivalry, three sisters are forced to relive the choices they made leading up to their deaths. Can they break the cycle, or be cursed to relive their tragedy forever?

It's the story of Miriam, a stay-at-home medium who is woken up in the middle of the night by ghostly voices, and winds up in the middle of a decades-dead domestic dispute.

A cautionary fable about uneasy sexual politics and the disconnect in modern gender relations, Cigarette is a bracing, confronting and wickedly entertaining collision between female pain and male privilege. When a woman (Rebecca Fortuna) invites her date (Ryan Heath) up to her apartment, she surprises him by performing an unannounced striptease. When he gets a little too familiar, she suggests taking things up a notch... and what follows is not for the faint-hearted.

Our first foray into the horror genre is a commentary on the culture of fear and distrust spread by the far-right-wing media post-9/11, as a sweet housewife (Perri Cummings), while minding her Muslim neighbour's child, becomes infected with the vitriolic words of a bigoted talk show host, which burrow their way into her head and drive her to commit awful deeds. Created for Drafthouse Films’ The ABCs of Death ‘26th Director’ competition, Talkback was originally titled T is for Talk Radio for that competition.

A deranged indie theatre company, led by the flakily tyrannical Madeleine (Sally McLean), struggle to put on the most misguided take on Shakespeare’s “Scottish Play” yet: MacBeth in Space.
