    TRAILER: Ophelia (2019)

    A visceral and urgent reimagining of one of Shakespeare’s tragic love stories. Two people, both pushed to their own limits whilst trying to hold on desperately to each other, discover that love, too, can be just as destructive. Available on Amazon Prime now tinyurl.com/Ophelia-Film AWARDS​ WINNER | BEST NARRATIVE SHORT FILM THE BROADWAY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL WINNER | BEST ACTOR NOMINATED | BEST SHOWCASE SHORT FILM SOHO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL "Sims’ practised eye takes Underwood’s world and runs with it." "This is a love story that is begging to be thrown into reverse but is so gripping that the audience, like Ophelia herself, will find it impossible to let go. Wonderfully shot and magnificently performed, ‘Ophelia’ is an exemplary short film and well worth a place on your watch list."​ - Nigel Morgan | (CameoLaunch)

    SHORT FILM: HOWL (2013)

    "A schoolteacher unravels the mystery behind the odd relationship between her new pupil and a stranger with a dark secret." The film hopes to regenerate interest in the horror/monster genre through combining metaphorical parallels between a common evil within society (child abusers/paedophilia) and a traditional creature of nightmares. Using this, the film explores both adult and child fears.
