Mates
When Blake “Prick” Daniels turns up at the door of an Enmore terrace with a food delivery, he comes face-to-face with his former mate Roy. What follows is a long night of banter and old wounds resurfacing, as the pair navigate resentment, abandonment, and the uneasy question of what it really means to be mates.

The Shirt Off Your Back
A dark fairytale about two brothers re-living a strange encounter with a man on Christmas Day, their memories shifting until the truth becomes something unknowable—something that quietly, irrevocably changes them.
