Fionn O’Shea, Lola Petticrew in DATING AMBER

Set in Ireland during the mid-90s, two teenagers, Eddie and Amber, fake a relationship to stop everyone from speculating their sexuality.

DATING AMBER is a poignant, honest and funny look at the highs and lows of teenage life where the only way to fit in is to not be yourself, even if this goes against your very being.

However, their ‘ideal’ arrangement begins to fall apart, forcing Eddie deeper into denial as Amber realises that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes. DATING AMBER is a love letter to all those kids who grew up in a small town and who needed to escape in order to be themselves.

Sue (52), works in a library. Daniel (15), eats crisps and listens to Metallica. This was the summer Daniel was due to spend with his father and his father’s new wife in Florida. But when they cancel his trip at the last minute, Sue and Daniel suddenly face the prospect of six long weeks together. Over the course of one long summer, an epic war of wills rages in the unassuming battleground of their suburban home as Sue and Daniel reckon with private tragedies –and pursue their personal passions.

Percy Schmeiser (Christopher Walken), a third-generation farmer,
gets sued by a corporate giant for allegedly using their patented seeds.

Based on the true story of one man’s fight against corruption. Triggered by a 1998 lawsuit, PERCY follows small-town Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser, who challenges a major conglomerate when the company’s genetically modified (GMO) canola is discovered in the 70-year-old farmer’s crops.

Percy Schmeiser (Christopher Walken), a third-generation farmer, gets sued by a corporate giant for allegedly using their patented seeds. As he speaks out against the company’s business practices, he realizes he is representing thousands of other disenfranchised farmers around the world fighting the same battle. Suddenly, he becomes an unsuspecting folk hero in a desperate war to protect farmers’ rights and the world’s food supply against what they see as corporate greed.

With little resources to fight a legal battle, Percy joins forces with attorney Jackson Weaver (Zac Braff) and environmental activist Rebecca Salcau (Christina Ricci) for a case that leads all the way to the Supreme Court.
