A single woman in her forties is desperate to belong. One day, out of curiosity, she attends a Narcotics Anonymous open meeting and pretends to have a crippling addiction to fit in. Amidst the honesty, open-mindedness and solidarity of the group she finds the sense of belonging that has eluded her all these years and quickly realises that she will do anything to hold onto it. But how long can she keep up the lie before she is found out?

A feature length film based on Phil’s poem ‘Watching a Father Die’. A young man witnesses the death of his beloved father from cancer at the age of 18, but then watches him die again in a different way as he begins to recognise his father’s abusive shadow side over the next few years. Finally, he is faced with his own father energy as he becomes one himself and has to choose whether to inevitably repeat his father’s mistakes or somehow, redeem them.

A therapist has regular sessions with a longstanding patient online. During one session, the patient has a heart attack and can’t call for help. Due to the online nature of their arrangement, the therapist only has an old address to give to the emergency services, and they can’t get to the patient’s aid. Whilst the ambulance drivers try to work out the new address from neighbours, the desperate therapist races across town to the approximate area, following places, landmarks and even people mentioned in the sessions they have had to slowly narrow down the address. The therapist also has to use all their psychological skills to deftly deal with the tricky characters they encounter on the way. Can they get there in time to save their patient? Or perhaps at least be with them as they breathe their last.
