ISOLATION
A young woman's normal morning routine gets turned on its head when she begins her commute to work only to find the entire city of London deserted and all lines of
communication severed. Tension builds as she searches the city for signs of life but finds only eerily abandoned spaces filled with scattered personal belongings, half-eaten
breakfasts and cars sat in the middle of roads with keys still in ignitions. Hoping to reach her boyfriend’s house, she sets off on foot across this empty cityscape, praying that
he will be home. A man looks out his window and, on seeing the empty streets and abandoned cars, realises something is wrong. He leaves his home and heads in the
direction of his girlfriend’s place hoping to find her. They separately negotiate the abandoned terrain moving ever closer to one another. Will they find each other or will it
be a near-miss, leaving them both lost? When, finally, they turn on to the same street it seems at last they will be reunited but it turns out this crossing of paths is anything
but what was expected. Utilising long, still, haunting shots of the deserted city this thriller explores underlying metaphors of loneliness and how it's possible to feel isolated
even when surrounded by others.

TRANSCENDENCE
Earth is under attack from a mysterious alien species which feeds off human consciousness. They leave only braindead bodies in their wake. But those who have survived
attacks claim that what these creatures actually provide is some kind of transcendence, an insight in to the true nature of existence and the experience of pure bliss.
However earth’s scientists state that what's really happening is a potent chemical reaction in the brains of the aliens’ victims. It is believed this alien species have, in fact,
mastered the perfect hunting technique, creating a high more pleasurable and more addictive than any drug known to the human race. This means that their prey not
only don't resist attack, but they actively seek out their predators. Who is correct? Or perhaps both theories can be simultaneously true? This character-driven sci-fi
mockumentary sees a film crew follow a teenaged girl desperate to seek out these aliens and have them finish what they started after her own close encounter, and her
mother, a woman desperate to save her only daughter from the clutches of these 'monsters'.
