Film(s) To Be Screened

Special Delivery

A weary postman trudges through the snow making deliveries to all but one door.

Special Delivery won the ‘Challenge Alexa’ shooting package run by Directors UK, screened in over 30 International Film Festivals, including Dinard, Cinequest and Newport Beach and has won 6 awards.

The film was shot in Thamesmead, South East London – where ‘A Clockwork Orange’ was filmed and aims to challenge perceptions of location.


Say Grace

Say Grace is the story of Teresa, who, although now a nun, never got over the woman who broke her heart twelve years before, Grace. But when Grace shows up in church, Teresa has a life-changing choice to make. As the narrative cuts back and forth between present day in the 1980s and glimpses of their life together in 1968, we understand how drastically Teresa’s life has changed - from a youth full of light-heartedness, freedom and love to a more composed existence meant to serve a higher purpose. But what is the life Teresa truly wants for herself? And will she be brave enough to commit to it? What if in the end it’s precisely her understanding of faith that leads her back to the woman she loves? Directed by Phil Hawkins, written by Alessia Galatini, produced by Alexandra Agoshkova.
