Séamus Hanly

Tenth exploitation anthology from the twisted minds of established and up and coming directors from across the globe.

Mags, a hot-headed pizza delivery cyclist who reckons herself to be entirely self-sufficient, is just about getting by during the property crisis in Dublin. When her bike is stolen and she loses her job, her eviction seems inevitable. With nowhere else to go, Mags must hunt down the thief who stole her bike and steal it right back. Mags must overcome her aversion to asking for help if she’s going to succeed, because this is no ordinary thief she’s hunting … Part investigative thriller, part heist, and part magical-realist action comedy, Bicycle Thieves: Pumped Up is a wild ride from start to finish.

In 1843, despite the fact that Dickens is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads, until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind; an old, lonely, embittered man, so vivid, so human, that a whole world grows around him, a story so inspiring that changed the meaning of Christmas forever.

A hilarious mockumentary, 'The Light of Day' follows a flailing film crew as they attempt to adapt the vampire graphic novel 'The Quench'. Hindered by their tragically over-zealous director, it will take the two sane people on set, cinematographer Michael and writer Sarah, to save the film.

A short film about a guy just trying to make a short film.

Ben (Colm Kearns) finds himself out of sync with reality, unable to function day to day or sleep in any regular pattern, after suffering a bizarre car accident. In the empty quiet night, Ben finds company in Elizabeth (Aisling Lynch), a lost and fragile woman, in search of her missing husband, and crosses path with a mysterious misfit from the world of the dead on a mission of his own. As Ben pieces together these strange circumstances, he soon realises that there are forces in the night of great danger to him and that his darkest nightmares may be coming true.
