ENGLISH BEASTS
THE SHORT FILMGOLD MAKES BEASTS OF MEN.Logline:
1862. Halfway up a mountain, two Englishmen claw their way in search of the Cariboo Gold Fields. What begins as conquest becomes delirium, as hunger, pride, and the cold strip them down to the bone.Shot on location in the sub-zero peaks of Snowdonia, English Beasts is a muscular, visceral descent into the "rot of empire." This 15-minute period thriller serves as the chilling tonal precedent for our upcoming feature film, Where the River Ends. It is a demonstration of our commitment to uncompromising, practical filmmaking, capturing the physical reality of humans pushed to their absolute limits.English Beasts is currently beginning its 2026 international festival run.The grit, tension, and atmospheric decay established here are the blueprints for our move into the 1930s. We are transitioning from the frozen north to the claustrophobic, fever-dream jungles of British Guiana. The expedition continues.Follow the expedition.

WHERE THE RIVER ENDS
Feature FilmLogline:
1933. British Guiana. An expedition for the Crown ventures upriver into the interior. As the jungle closes in, the lines between map and myth, man and beast, dissolve into a fever-dream of paranoia and colonial rot.Synopsis:
Deep in the suffocating rainforests of 1930s British Guiana, a British surveying party attempts to claim the unmapped wild. But the jungle is indifferent to their flags. Following a fatal accident, the group’s rigid Victorian order fractures. Consumed by fever and an ancient, unknowable presence in the trees, the expedition becomes a fight for survival. Inspired by lost journals and real colonial expeditions, WHERE THE RIVER ENDS is an atavistic thriller that asks: what remains of a man when he is stripped of civlity?Shooting on location in the dense rainforests, the film will be steeped in the unnerving beauty of the tropics, WHERE THE RIVER ENDS is a tale of empire, madness and the myth of control, where the land itself may be the final antagonist...
