Roses Are Red, Everything Else is Blue (directed by Charlie Schanschieff, UK)

Each segment is set in a familiar, seemingly mundane location where men might find themselves alone—a place where they can reflect in solitude.

Angela (directed by Brendan Cleaves, UK)

An awkward first date spirals into chaos when a mix-up over a missing leg leads to a series of bizarre misunderstandings. ‘Angela’ is a charming short comedy about love, limbs and lateral incisors.
