The Call

On a quiet evening in the South Wales valleys, Emma (Rachel Isaac) settles in for the night when she receives a call from her
son Dylan (Ffred Hayes), a nineteen-year-old student returning home after a night out in Cardiff. Their conversation turns to
fear as Dylan realises, he is being followed by some bullies who tormented him at school.

Across seven escalating phone calls, Emma and her husband Hywel (Huw Rhys) listen helplessly as her son’s situation spirals into danger as he’s pursued.

The Stork The Stork

The Stork

The Stork is a character driven comedy that follows well intentioned, but clueless, parents of a queer woman wanting to start a family via artificial insemination using Norwegian semen ordered online – a popular method for queer couples. However, typically, the receipts of said semen tend to sign for their important delivery but on this occasion they’re not in but, (un)luckily, one set of parents are! On delivery, there is a slight altercation that results in the sample being destroyed leaving the delivery driver and parents in a bit of sticky (or rather NOT sticky) situation that needs to be rectified before their daughter returns home. All three characters are on very different pages regarding their plan of action and have very different perspectives when it comes to understanding the queer community – supportive but not necessarily accurate. Through miscommunication and audience the short pushes moral boundaries, questioning how far would a parent go to secure their child’s happiness. We follow the trio as they stumble their way through learning about their daughter’s journey (despite their ignorance) and its complexities - from a place of love. It’s an uplifting, family centred story showcasing the importance of unconditional love of queer people.
