DISTRESS SIGNALS: "When a fall down a steep rock face separates her from her friends, Caroline finds herself stranded. Now, alone and with a dislocated shoulder, she must make her way out of the woods--and contend with how she got there."
Directors’ Statement: "In 2020, as the world ground to a halt, we – like everyone else – found ourselves canceling our plans. In our case, that meant shelving the film we’d intended to make that summer, even though we were more restless than ever.
Desperate for something to hang on to as the world turned upside down, we briefly considered making a screen movie, but far too much of our lives had already transitioned to zoom, so our conversations turned toward isolation and depression – and the antidotes we craved. We wanted to do something together. We wanted to escape the walls we’d been surrounded by for months. We wanted horizon lines.
We followed those impulses into the woods – with the most pared down team we could imagine – and found a meditation on survival, and a growing interest in how a familiar narrative becomes fundamentally different when there is a woman at its center.
Distress Signals doesn’t just follow Caroline’s journey out of the woods; it asks us to examine why we wait for saviors who aren’t coming, and question what it means to survive."
Coming To Digital & VOD on May 12th

NORTHERN FRIGHTS: "Northern Frights, the horror, fantasy, and immersive events company based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has been making waves in the local community and beyond with its unique and inclusive events.
Northern Frights offers a variety of immersive events, ranging from children's zombie survival days to large-scale conventions and festivals. With a focus on expanding their offerings and providing attendees with unique experiences, the company aims to bring their events to more locations across Scotland.
With a focus on inclusion and accessibility, Northern Frights has gone above and beyond to make its events welcoming to all. The company's founder, Laura Ripley, who is neurodivergent, noticed that events were missing something to make her feel comfortable. Laura's vision was to create events that not only offered immersive experiences but also catered to individuals who may need safe, quiet spaces during events. Each of Northern Frights' events includes these safe spaces to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and welcome.
Northern Frights not only provides inclusive events, but it also actively invests in the local community by working and collaborating with local companies and venues. The company sources local suppliers wherever possible and makes sure to minimise its environmental impact by planting trees in the Scottish Highlands for every event where they use paper. Furthermore, Northern Frights actively engages in local community events and initiatives and supports local charities by organising fundraising efforts.
But it's not just about inclusivity and sustainability - Northern Frights' events are also seriously fun. From the only over 18's horror campsite in Scotland to a prison escape experience in Peterhead Prison Museum, the company has partnered with venues across Scotland to bring amazing events to attendees.
Horror Con Scotland event has been a resounding success, with it now entering its 2nd year and expanding to four venues across Scotland in 2024 – Aberdeenshire, Dundee, Inverness and their largest event at the SEC in Glasgow. From its humble beginnings on the top floor of a pub, our events have now grown to include partnerships with various venues across Scotland. One such example is our collaboration with the Aberdeen Science Centre for the Aberdeen Sci-Fi day, where we offer a day of sci-fi fun and learning for all the family.
And let's not forget about the dragons - Northern Frights has its very own fire-breathing beasts that will leave attendees spellbound.
With its commitment to inclusion, sustainability, and fun, Northern Frights is becoming a leading events company in Scotland. And with plans to expand its offerings and establish itself even further, it's clear that Northern Frights is not one to be missed.
