TUNED OUT - NZYFF 2023 BEST FILM
Two girls are trapped in the midst of a warzone, deprived of the basic essentials. They wait desperately hoping for some sort of escape, a break in the attack, but one never comes. Instead the harrowing sound of a missile approaches, they brace for it, only for the time around them to slow at the last minute, to pause just before impact. Moments later into the house rush an unsympathetic media crew who attempt to sap the very last of their story away from them, capturing it for their own gain and entertainment. The crew, out of time and empty handed, vacate. The two girls left to face the bombardment once again, completely alone.

HARMONY INC. - 2024
“In the near future, mental health therapists dive into a client's memories to erase childhood trauma, but their mission takes a dangerous turn when her subconscious threatens to erase them instead."
Harmony Inc. navigates the ethics of walking around and changing memories from within someone's mind. This film looks at our nightmares, regrets and trauma right in the eyes, emphasizing the need for us to reconcile with the past, rather than erase it. Combining sci-fi, action, psychological thriller elements with emotional depth, reaching out to those who think they are fighting these battles completely alone. To let them know they really are not.
From us to you, we bring to your screen, the inner battle.

PROJECT SKYBURN DOLUS - 2024
In the aftermath of devastation, a man sits alone in the ruins of a bar. He pours himself a drink, gazing out at a world reduced to ash and rubble. As a countdown appears on a device in his hand, he steps through a broken wall, smiling as missiles land in the distance, and a wave of fire races toward him.
Suddenly, we are with a young woman, interrogated by a shadowy figure. They question her about a dream, a man, and a mysterious device. Is she part of an experiment? A test? Or is the man she’s being asked about someone we’ve already seen?
