JESSE FUNCTIONS / Feature Film
DRAMA
Jesse, a 20-something from Glasgow, lives from payday to payday and goes out almost every night. The fun night life and her friends help her happily cruise along until one day she gets stuck without any alcohol or money to buy any.
Instead of recognising her seizures and bout of illness for the alcohol withdrawal that it is, causing her to have hallucinations and delirium tremors, she simply thinks it's the flu.
Her flatmate nurses her back to health, though they both don't realise that the reason Jesse feels better is due to the alcoholic tea she's been given.
We jump forward 8 years where Jesse has just completed her rehab programme for the third time. She takes refuge at her
half-sister's flat, away from Glasgow, to try and get her life back on track.
However, the mundane drudgery of her new life and chemical imbalance in her brain slowly start to drive her mad, as she struggles to hold onto her sobriety and attempts to mend her strained relationship with her sister.
Will she sink back into her old habits, or finally break the toxic cycle for good?
RETCH / Feature Film
HORROR
Based off the award-winning short film ‘RETCH’ this feature is a visceral horror of paranoia and tension. Reminiscent of 'Climax' meets 'The Thing'.
Six friends have gathered to take a powerful psychoactive drug 'Cyclone' to weather out a particularly bad storm.
The party descends into chaos as a stranger appears at their door, who suffers from a mysterious disease which causes her to rip off her own skin, which threatens to infect the party.
Trapped by the worsening conditions outside and being severely impaired by the drugs they’ve taken, madness descends on the group, as they begin to turn on each other.
