Iain Glen stars in this Scottish BAFTA nominated short, Vagabond Shoes, directed by Jackie Oudney.

A chance occurrence gives an enigmatic homeless man the opportunity to enter a high society gathering, where the layers of his personality and his past are revealed to an unsuspecting audience.

Award winning director Jackie Oudney honed her skills as a highly successful commercials director. Her micro-budget feature 'French Film' starring Hugh Bonneville and Anne-Marie Duff was recognised for its witty direction and ambition. It picked up two major awards at the Monte-Carlo Film Festival for Best Actor and Best Screenplay. In addition, her two short films, 'Station' and 'Vagabond Shoes' with its powerful performance by Iain Glen have won a clutch of awards including the Kodak/BAFTA Short Film Showcase and a Scottish BAFTA nomination. She is currently on the festival circuit with her third short, 'What I Am', a film about class and female agency.

Roman Fever -

Short film: Roman Fever by Derek Coutts, starring Naomi Sorkin and Kathryn Worth

Based on Edith Warton’s 1934 short story, Roman Fever features two affluent, middle-aged American women who meet at a country house outside Rome. On the surface, this is a reunion of childhood friends. It soon becomes obvious that there is a darker, more powerful agenda in play, as long hidden jealousies and hatreds begin to emerge, culminating in the disclosure of a devastating long-held secret.

Roman Fever’s cast features Women’s Voices producer Naomi Sorkin.

Why do fools fall in Love -

A biographical drama from Tina Andrews about the rise and fall of 1950s rock and roll star Frankie Lymon, focusing on the dispute among his three wives (played by Halle Berry, Vivica A. Fox and Lela Rochon) who all claim to be his legal widow after his death, vying for control of his musical legacy. The film tells Lymon's life story through flashbacks as the women recall their different experiences with the charismatic but troubled singer, from his teen idol success to his struggles with drugs and the music industry, directed by Gregory Dava.
