A woman with an electronic ab stimulator plus other assorted exercise bands, and a man in a white vest clapping is the quirky beginning of a new comedy short from Tom Bridger and Jonny Gillard.

Stuart Wheeldon’s The Wirksworth UFO Incident is an interesting proposition.

How we and others perceive ourselves is a key component of a new short from local filmmaker William Kowanec called War Paint.
