“An eclectic portrait of British cinema's bright, diverse future... The pick of the first volume is almost certainly ‘Swan’… a smartly comic political allegory with a killer punch-line”  ★★★★ Vulturehound

“A brilliant, subtle and multi-faceted group of timely shorts… Highlights include Siân Docksey and Sophie King’s ‘Swan’, a funny slice of satire” ★★★★ Time Out

“Captivating and... entirely unique.” “Astounding breadth of talent.” “Fascinating.” ★★★★★ The Upcoming

★★★★ The Evening Standard ★★★★ The Guardian ★★★★ The Times
