Set in the 1970s, the storyline revolves around Imogen, a traveler returning home to see her mother, who discovers her uncle waiting for her instead.

Director Kevin Figes is best known in the music world as an improvising sax/flute player and composer. His music has attracted the comments ‘A kaleidoscopic blizzard’ (Jazzwise) and ‘A true original at work’ (sussex jazz). Now Figes turns his attention to his other great love, folk horror and giallo films of the 1970’s. The original soundtrack music is beautifully recorded and played by many of Bristol’s finest musicians.

Plus other experimental short films and music promos.
