Filial

Synopsis:
presents a meeting between a father and his estranged, pistol-wielding son that reruns their encounter some half dozen times, on each occasion making changes to its development and outcome, succeeding versions revealing more detail about their story. In Larkin's words 'they fuck you up your mum and dad' and in this series of tense confrontations, the son keeps giving his single-parent father just 15 minutes to answer the charge that it is he who is responsible for the boy's fucked-up life.

Lady In The Red Dress

Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of the Chinese-Canadian redress lawsuit, lady in the red dress is the story of a lawyer without a conscience, a woman without a past, and vengeance for a cause that had been ignored too long. A darkly comic revenge story about the skeletons in our closets, and the consequences of our (in)actions.
