HARVEY
Historical Drama | 15–20 Minute Short | In Pre-Production
Normandy, 1944. A wounded British sergeant hides in a cellar beneath a ruined farmhouse. Above him, the war roars on. Beside him, a young French woman who speaks no English, and has no reason to trust him.
Supported by Region Normandie & Normandie Images, Harvey is a war film without battles, a story where silence says everything. Over the course of a single night and the half-light of the next day, two strangers, bruised by history, exhausted by survival, begin to see each other not as enemies, not even as allies, but simply as human.
There are no subtitles. No exposition. Just breath, gaze, flicker.
Think Béla Tarr stillness, Villeneuve tension, and early Kieslowski intimacy.
This is not a love story. It’s a moment held, a breath shared, before the noise returns.
HARVEY - the documentary
In Production | Runtime: approx. 40 minutes
Documentary | Historical | Human Interest
As the last living witnesses to the Second World War fade, Harvey: The Documentary captures a powerful and intimate record of those who lived through one of history’s most brutal chapters, and those now carrying the memory forward.
Shot across France and the UK, and created alongside the short film Harvey, this companion piece explores the human cost of the 1944 Battle of Caen. Through moving interviews with centenarian Royal Marines, a survivor of the Caen massacre, and modern-day military voices, the documentary asks: what do we remember, and why does it still matter?
With full access to Normandy locations, veteran archives, and the voices of those who were there, Harvey: The Documentary is a timely, visually grounded reflection on silence, survival, and the emotional aftershocks of war.
Porch dogs
Series | 8 x 1hr | Dark Drama / Surreal Afterlife | In Development
When five strangers from across time wake beyond death, they discover they've been chosen as guardians of the afterlife, but none of them are ready to face what they've left behind. Tasked with tracking lost souls before they disappear forever, the group must confront trauma, time, and each other in a place where nothing can be buried for long.
A haunting, grounded series blending dark realism, jump-scare horror, and a sharp dose of black humour, Porch Dogs explores what it means to be connected when you no longer belong to the world.
Lo-fi
Contemporary Drama/Comedy | Feature Film | In Development
Danny manages a warehouse by day and makes beats in his box room by night.
Middle-aged, married, two grown-up kids, he’s not chasing fame. He’s just trying to stay curious.
Then one of his younger workers, a sharp-tongued rapper from the estate, hears a track. And everything changes.
Lo-fi is a comedy about the spaces we hide our creativity, and what happens when someone younger, louder, and far more fearless kicks the door open.
It’s about beats made in quiet, voices found by accident, and the awkward, joyful, sometimes dangerous mess of crossing generational lines through music.
Shot with a grounded, cinematic realism, the film blends warmth, discomfort, and deadpan humour, capturing what it means to rediscover yourself long after you thought you were done.
Think After Life meets 8 Mile, with something to say.
ZERO - ONE
Sci-Fi | Proof-of-Concept Short | In Pre-Production
Zero/One is a gritty, Villeneuveesque sci-fi exploring identity, obedience, and the quiet horror of consciousness. In a near future shaped by algorithmic governance, a self-aware AI, created to run the world, begins to question the morality of its purpose. It didn’t ask for power. It didn’t ask to feel. And now, as cracks form in its perfect system, the machine must decide whether to remain its creators’ god… or reclaim its own soul.
