We are pleased to announce that Flyspy – a short film Directed by Dan Smith and edited by Brian Hovmand is now finished!

FlySpy is a short-thriller about a young, genius deviant called Greg, who has made a wirelessly controlled drone in the form of a fly with a camera in its head. 

Everything the fly can see Greg can see. He is deeply obsessed with his ex-girlfriend Haley so he spends his time secretly watching her through the eyes of his tiny robotic partner in crime. But when Greg witnesses Haley’s violent new boyfriend, JOHN, abusing her, it very quickly becomes clear that for Greg, simply watching, is not enough.

Watch the trailer here.

 FlySpy will be screening at the BAFTA-qualifying London Short Film Festival on January 15th 2016.

‘God’s Acre’ is the directorial debut of our lovely editor J.P. Davidson.  It’s set in the bleakest realms of London’s suburbs. Matthew Jure gives an incredibly powerful performance as Malcolm, a failed property developer dealing with his inner demons. Driven to bankruptcy due to the recession, Malcolm loses everything and falls into deep debt. With his only possession being a house that’s rotting around him, Malcolm must renovate and sell in order to repay his creditors and escape the spiraling danger which their lack of patience precipitates. It won’t be that easy though; the home haunts Malcolm’s mind and drives him further into an alcohol-driven loneliness. There’s something sinister in the very foundations, and Malcolm must see this through to the bitter end…

We are happy to announce that we will be sponsoring the Griersons again this year.
