Our 2023 eponymous music video 'Edge of Alright' has garnered numerous honours at film festivals around the world, including 12 Best Music Video awards.
We are very excited to announce ‘SWELTAN’, a five-minute sinister short about a greedy detectorist who makes the find of his life. But all that glitters is not gold. ‘SWELTAN’ is the first in a series of weird and unusual films, inspired by the work of writer M R James.
