DETAINED (Plaion Pictures) finds Abbie Cornish waking up in a police station - but why?  AN INVITATION TO A MURDER (Plaion Pictures) is a period murder mystery which heavily leans into Agatha Christie... DEAD BEFORE THEY WAKE (High Fliers Films) sees a bouncer being tasked with delving into Glasgow's underworld to rescue a young deaf woman from sex trafficking... COME HOME (Miracle Media) - 2 couples spend the weekend in the mountains and meet some supernatural shenanigans...  CURSE OF THE SIN EATER (High Fliers) - a young man makes a huge mistake when he agrees to inherit a billionaire's wealth - and his past sins...   Our Short Shot is the excellent time-travelling romantic comedy, SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN.
