A huge congratulations to our clients Darius Shu and Chloë Brady as their work is being shown at the BFI Flare Festival!

Production Designer Chloë Brady worked on Short Film, This Love Isn’t Taught which is being shown in the Fragments of Us segment of the festival and receiving its World Premiere. Directed by Harry Brandrick, the story “follows Jordan, a young bisexual father torn between his public role as a parent and the hidden aspects of his identity, and Atlanta, an openly gay man who once held Jordan's heart. When they cross paths at a vibrant London party, old desires resurface, challenging Jordan to confront the parts of himself he's tried to suppress. As the chemistry between them reignites, Jordan finds himself at a crossroads: between the life he presents to the world and the love he truly longs for. Set against the backdrop of modern-day London, this is a raw and intimate exploration of love, identity, and the courage to embrace one's true self.”

Directed by Lexi Powner and James Lewis, the short film is “A vital documentary charting the lives and court cases of LGBTQIA+ heroes, and the shocking colonial history of q***r criminalisation”.

AGATHA CHRISTIE’S SEVEN DIALS + LUKE BRYANT

Netflix's Agatha Christie's Seven Dials has now hit our screens!

With Cinematography by Luke Bryant, and Directed by Chris Sweeney, the series stars Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have S*x), Corey Mylchreest (The Sandman), Edward Bluemel (The Commuter), Nabhaan Rizwan (Juice, In Camera) and Alex Macqueen (Peaky Blinders).

"In 1925, a country house party prank turns deadly. Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent investigates the chilling murder plot. Lady Caterham and Superintendent Battle assist in solving the country house mystery that changes Bundle's life."

The Independent: 4/5 Stars "A country house mystery cracking with wit and escapist glamour."

"Seven Dials is generally a lot of fun, shot through with self-awareness that never curdles into smugness. The camera fixes on the minutiae – from the sumptuous country estate interiors to London's smoky nightspots – creating a world that seduces even as it unsettles."

The Hollywood Reporter: "After a brief, beautifully shot prologue featuring the death of an unnamed character played by Iain Glenn, Seven Dials jumps to the house party where Lady Bundle Brent is referred to as "it."
