Chasing Adonis
Directed by Tom Gordon

Chasing Adonis follows Danny, an actor whose rejection for not having “the right look” feeds an increasingly destructive obsession with changing his body.
As he follows the extreme fitness routines promoted by a social media influencer, his relationships, health and sense of self begin to deteriorate. Even when he reaches the physique and career milestone he thought he wanted, the dissatisfaction remains.
The film focuses on muscle dysmorphia, male body image and the pressure created by social media, fitness culture and ideas of physical perfection.
Director Tom Gordon approaches the subject from a personal interest in body dysmorphia and the difficulty many men have in recognising or discussing it.

Official Selection – Thurrock International Film Festival 2026

The Silence We Carry - Official Trailer

In the shattered remains of post apocalyptic Britain, a reckless survivor fights to protect a young boy, not only from the dangers of the world, but from the devastating truth that could tear them apart.

We’re proud to have sponsored this year’s Bedford Independent Film Festival and to support an event that celebrates bold storytelling, emerging talent and independent film.

We had a brilliant time connecting with so many people over the weekend and loved watching the films on show. It was a real pleasure to be part of something that brings creative people together and shines a light on powerful stories from Bedford and beyond.

We were especially proud to see our founder, Sebi, present two award categories. The first was Best Editing, a category that recognises one of the most important parts of filmmaking and the craft that shapes how a story is felt on screen. The second was Best UK Feature Film, celebrating outstanding long-form storytelling and filmmaking talent closer to home.

A huge congratulations to all the filmmakers who submitted their work. Winning or not, every submission played a part in making the festival such a special event.
