The Eyes of Marge (2023) Director

A self-hating social worker traumatised by his sister’s death from domestic abuse, is plagued by phone calls from an unknown woman looking for her dead sister. ‘The Eyes of Marge’ is a social horror that flips the gender stereotypes of a stalker/slasher film on their head. The original concept was inspired by the conversation taking place around male violence towards women and this seemingly deep-rooted aspect of our society. In a grimy, gritty world where the services put in place to protect us are no longer enough, a male social worker becomes subject to intrusive phone calls from an unknown woman. As this evolves into a haunting and his fear grows, the supernatural is used to reflect the very real fears felt by women in our own world every day. The film is currently at the start of its festival run.

A.R.P.U. – which stands for ‘average revenue per user’ – is a short dystopian film inspired by the Netflix documentary ‘The Great Hack’ and the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The film explores our relationship with our online data, and what could happen when we give it away so freely.
