Meet-Cute

Dir. Nadine O'Mahony


4.57


Meet-Cute is a rapid-fire rom-com for the anxious, nerdy and neurodiverse. Jaded by endless dates that go nowhere with people too afraid to put their real personality out there, Mark and Mia decide to lay it all on the line, their pet peeves, red flags and their sexual hard nos! We see cutaways of their sad little lives and dating disasters. Whilst they're both odd balls and cultural snobs we can begin to see a connection forming however, the rug is pulled from under us at the last minute. A style that sits somewhere between Wes Anderson and Edgar Wright with a dash of Arrested Development thrown in. A micro-short that packs a lot of punch.

TAG

Dir. Eleanor Jessica Roberts


20.52


TAG, follows Frankie; a young woman with a petty crime past, now living above the charity shop she once stole from. On one ordinary day, Frankie meets Maude, a perfect stranger she’s intensely drawn to. As their connection deepens, underlying tension and toxic patterns resurface, leading Frankie toward a tantalising plan to steal from a local charity event; risking both her second chance and the first real connection she’s ever had.
