Affiliated Projects

These are not our in-house productions, though they do reflect our mission statement and we are just as proud of them. Our involvement ranges from acting, writing, scoring, producing and directing. You can see our involvement in each individual project, below.

CANDY CIGS, 2024

Candy Cigs charts the budding bromance between Chris, a social and academic high-flyer, and Ed, a deadbeat clubrat from the ‘steel city’ on the verge of dropping out. Polar opposites on the surface, the pair realise they can both help each other out - Chris promising to help Ed get his life together and, in return, Ed promises him a night out he won’t forget. Is this just a lightning-in-a-bottle coincidence, or can this friendship really go the distance?

Watercolours

Watercolours is a film about human connection, exploring the unexpected reunion of two childhood friends in Amsterdam for one night. This project, a year in the making, represents a pivotal moment in our careers, but we need your support to bring it to life as young, independent artists. Every contribution matters!
