SLATE
Dance duet devolves into death match,
when one of its performers turns into a zombie.
**Shortlisted by Frightfest for Fresh Blood Award**
Hilarity ensues when a contemporary dancer unexpectedly turns into a zombie mid-show. As he chases and tries to eat the leading lady, the clueless audience and a pair of wisecracking hipsters look on in fascination, assuming that this is all part of the performance.
While the director and stage manager freak out backstage, dance devolves into a full-blown death match, culminating in an explosive finale and standing ovation.

HORROR 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.
We jump forward 8 years where Jesse has just completed her rehab programme for the third time, now living in Edinburgh. 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 relationships.
Will she sink back into her old habits, or finally break the toxic cycle for good?

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.
