The Greatest
A family man decides to take his mother, ill with severe dementia, out of her nursing home to look after her himself.
THE GREATEST is a film about the need to be perfect. It explores the inconsistency in how we perceive ourselves and what we are actually capable of.
The universe is cinematic and observant, making sure that the characters and their truth always come first. The drama is in the ordinary, the laughter is in the truth and the horror is in the human behaviour.

Idle Creatures
In a world where Big Tech governs society and intelligent technology has become fully integrated into our minds, Olivia must choose beween her past and her future, between reality and fantasy.
IDLE CREATURES is not a film about your run of the mill totalitarian regime, a police surveillance state or a sci-fi dystopian world. It’s a doomed love story set in a world where Big Tech’s monopoly and immense reach and power have changed our society and our relationship to the truth, to ourselves and to each other for the worse.

Shorts
A Tiny Thing
(Proof of concept for feature Idle Creatures)
Olivia and her old college mates are meeting up for their annual weekend catch up, but everything goes horribly wrong when the usually quiet and meek Olivia starts behaving strangely.
At its heart, A TINY THING explores the collision point between technology, identity, and control, asking what happens when the very systems built to enhance us begin to undermine our sense of self.
It’s a story about the quiet creep of technological influence, and how, bit by bit, we surrender our agency, not just to machines, but to people, institutions, and ideas we no longer question.
