The down trodden wife quickly finds a way to adjust to her new way of life, while Glyn finally steps into a role that suits him.ONE WORD - WORLD PREMIERE17 minsDramaDirector: Caleb ShafferManchester born filmmaker Caleb Shaffer tells the relevant and emotional story of Sammi, a teenage African refugee, whose daily life is dominated by scenes of racism and rejection. Struggling to adapt to his new life, an opportunity for self-expression, which initially causes him to freeze with fear, is turned into the most powerful weapon against his bullies. An outstanding lead performance by unknown Joshua Okusanya will leave you wilting and sadly reflecting on a modern day observation of acceptance and understanding.THE SPLIT - WORLD PREMIERE15 minsDramaDirector: Ed RiggMick, played by Edward Hogg (Anonymous, Jupiter Ascending), doesn't believe in fate and parallel universes. But a foul weather encounter with an esteemed professor is about to set him on a path which will make him wish he did.

Jack Doolan ( Cemetery Junction) stars as an uptight getaway driver, waiting outside a bank robbery, who has three nerve-shredding minutes to get through before his crew returns. All he has to do is focus. A funny, inventive and deftly crafted short story that will have you hooked from start to finish.
