Dread
Stephen (Jackson Rathbone, TWILIGHT) and Cheryl (Laura Donnelly, INSATIABLE) are college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they have no idea that their partner Quaid (Shaun Evans, BOY A, TELSTAR), witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror. The three set out to document people revealing their life’s most terrifying moments. But Quaid quickly grows bored with mere interviews and decides to take the study to a much more visceral level, causing all three to become vulnerable as they reveal their fears in front of the camera. Just as Stephen and Cheryl realize they have partnered with a madman, they also find themselves subjects of the hideous experiment they brought to life… learning more about fear and dread than any human mind can stand.

Huge
When Warren and Clark meet in a crowded comedy club, one thing is clear - destiny has spoken. They explode out of the country like a fireball, arcing through the black night and landing in a hail of sparks in gritty, grimy London. They live for the same goal - to get a gig. To experience the sublime sweetness of a grace borne high on laughter. However, the stand-up comedy circuit is brutal and their cantilevered hopes are dashed as they find themselves competing with a multitude of comedians. With a world that wants to deny their destiny, their hubris soon curdles into bitterness as they find it impossible to break into the cut-throat world of stand-up. Ambition turns into resentment as they begin to find fault with each other. Just as the pressure seems unbearable Warren betrays Clark by performing their jointly-crafted act solo. When Clark finds out, their star-spun alliance is smashed to splinters. Warren and Clark must find a way to work through their differences, embrace them, and stick together if they are to have a chance of making it huge.
