COMES A BRIGHT DAY
SAM SMITH (Craig Roberts, Submarine, Jane Eyre, Being Human) is twenty, bright, ambitious and not unattractive; so earning minimum wage as a bellboy at a 5* luxury hotel isn’t where he wants to be; running a restaurant with his best friend ELLIOT is. MARY BRIGHT (Imogen Poots, Fright Night, Solitary Man, Jane Eyre, 28 Weeks Later) is as radiantly beautiful as the jewelry she sells in Clara, London’s most discerning jewelers. When Sam meets Mary in the café where Elliot works he is very quickly and very truly smitten. Every other plan and thought goes out of the window as he follows Mary back to Clara with the intention of asking her out. Unbeknown to Sam, armed thieves CAMERON (Kevin McKidd, Trainspotting, Made of Honor, Grey’s Anatomy TV series, Rome TV series) and CLEGG (Josef Altin, Eastern Promises) also have an appointment at Clara and aren’t planning on leaving without the million (not two) pound Stahl Papillon brooch. COMES A BRIGHT DAY is an offbeat, coming-of-age love story set during the armed robbery of one of London’s most exclusive jewelers. It was an Official Selection of the prestigious Berlin Film Festival.

FUTURO BEACH
Part gay romance, part inquisitive self-journey, FUTURO BEACH is a stunning examination of lives lost and found. Donato (Wagner Moura) works as a lifeguard at the spectacular but treacherous Praia do Futuro beach in Brazil; Konrad (Clemens Schick) is an ex-military thrill-seeker from Germany vacationing with a friend. After Donato saves Konrad from drowning, but fails to save his other friend, initial sexual sparks give way to a deeper, emotional connection. Donato decides to leave everything behind, including his ailing mother and younger brother, Ayrton, to travel back to Berlin with Konrad. There, he finds both confusion and liberation, and his journey for love soon turns into a deeper search for his own identity. Eight years later, an unexpected visit from Ayrton, brings all three men back together as they struggle to reconcile the pain of loss and longing, instinctively drawn to each other in search of hope and a brighter future.
