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.

POPPY
Radio NZ, “Poppy is a local feel-good film about a young car mechanic determined not to let her disability slow her down. The film benefits enormously from the casting of Libby Hunsdale. Like Poppy, Libby’s a firecracker, with a remarkable range, beautifully guided by director and writer Linda Niccol.”

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.
