“Intelligently conceived and written, excellently cast and acted, this short film is what authors long for but seldom see: a dramatic version of their work that both makes an original interpretation of it and gets right to the heart of it.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
.
Adapted from the short story by major science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin, The Field Of Vision is about mankind’s pursuit of truth and the consequence of finding the answer. In an unknown future, a group of astronauts unearth evidence of an ancient alien civilization on Mars. Concealed within it is a truth so dangerous it threatens to change the world forever. On their return, a psychiatrist is brought in to assess the surviving crew, all of whom suffer from unexplainable physical disorders. What he discovers will shake his scientific and rational beliefs to the core.
Starring: Raji James, George Anton, Leon Ockenden, Rupert Holliday-Evans, Danny Webb, Simon Dutton, James Weber-Brown, Michael Mueller and Charlotte Hayward.

I Divorce You is an unusual and stylized alternative to the traditional telling of Genesis. Set in a 50s influenced, but not yet populated world, a divorce story of unparalleled consequence unfolds.
God is attempting to lay the foundations for his master plan and has freshly created Eve to take care of the lonely Adam. But before their union can take place, Adam must divorce estranged first wife Lilith. An ardent feminist, Lilith becomes suspicious of their oppressive plan and refuses to bow to the law of God, choosing obscurity over compromise. Gradually Eve unravels the lies culminating in an encounter with Lilith that will lead her to the truth.
Starring: Sarah Callyn, Daisy Lewis, Leon Ockenden and Stephen Evans.
