The Survivalist
 

From critically acclaimed up-and-comer Stephen Fingleton and fresh from its hugely successful premiere in Tribeca where it received rave reviews. Time Out New York called it a "masterful feature film", Screen International described it as "gripping debut feature" and The Hollywood Reporter called it "An assured debut with a lean, life-and-death atmosphere".

In a dystopian, kill-or-be-killed world where strangers are always dangerous, The Survivalist lives off the grid, and by his wits. Until two starving women, a mother and her daughter, find his forest refuge...

Meadowland (NEW TITLE)
 

From award winning cinematographer and exciting, new talent Reed Morano. The film recently premiered at Tribeca and was extremely well-received with Screen International referring to "Reed Morano's auspicious directorial debut" and The Playlist citing its "engrossing gut-punch quality".

In the hazy aftermath of an unimaginable loss, Sarah (Olivia Wilde) and Phil (Luke Wilson) come unhinged, recklessly ignoring the repercussions. Phil starts to lose sight of his morals as Sarah puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations, falling deeper into her own fever dream.

Being Evel (NEW TITLE)
 

The film enjoyed a hugely successful premiere in Sundance. The Hollywood Reporter wrote of it "The Bottom Line: Doc on showman cyclist Evel Knieel soars" and IndieWire described it as "rambunctious and entertaining".

"Nobody wants to see me die, but they don't want to miss it if I do".

Being Evel tells not just the incredible story behind the myth of 1970s American daredevil icon and pioneer for today's Extreme Sports scene Robert "Evel" Knievel, but also the previously untold and very much darker tale of the man behind the flamboyant cape; a one-time outlaw whose wildly dangerous career spanned 75 ramp-to-ramp motorbike jumps and saw him break every bone in his body.
