Fanny and John Lye and their young son Arthur live lives of Puritan stricture on a remote Shropshire farm in a valley beside a forest. Once a Captain in the English Civil War, now a firm believer in Oliver Cromwell’s republic, John suffers a game leg and therefore it is Fanny who must carry out most duties around the farm, taken for granted by both husband and son. One morning, when the family are out at church, two uninvited visitors take refuge in their barn: the charismatic Thomas Ashbury and his young ‘wife’ Rebecca Henshaw, who come running from the forest naked as Adam and Eve. Thomas tells a story of robbery by vicious highwaymen. Although suspicious, John offers clothes and shelter for the night - which satisfies Fanny’s compassionate nature. Whilst the young couple are polite, almost obsequious at first, soon Thomas’ carefree manner can’t help but reveal itself: he makes seductive eyes at Fanny and then draws Arthur into a food fight, for which - despite Thomas’ protestations - the house patriarch disciplines both wife and child. The next day, as Thomas and John coppice wood, Rebecca accidentally reveals to Fanny that she and Thomas are unmarried. Soon after, three more strangers approach the farm: a Sheriff and his Deputy, accompanied by the local Constable, hunting members of a blasphemous ‘Ranter’ sect. From here, events quickly escalate in ways that will change all their lives forever.

The Reason I Jump TMetFilm Sales Genre: Documentary Vesna Cudic +44 7977 051 577 Director: Jerry Rothwell [email protected] Status: Completed Market Office: Gropius 35 UK FILM Home Office tel: +44 20 8280 9117 Synopsis: Based on the best-selling book by Naoki Higashida, THE REASON I JUMP is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida's revelatory insights into autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window for audiences into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe. Moments in the lives of each of the characters are linked by the journey of a young Japanese boy through an epic landscape; narrated passages from Naoki’s writing reflect on what his autism means to him and others, how his perception of the world differs, and why he acts in the way he does: the reason he jumps. The film distils these elements into a sensually rich tapestry that leads us to Naoki’s core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.

The Sheriff TKew Media Dist. Genre: Documentary Tom Bairstow Director: Grace Sweeney [email protected] Status: Completed Market Office: Marriot 274/276 Home Office tel: +44 20 7851 6500 Synopsis: The Sheriff is an iconic figure in American culture. All-powerful within their County, the Sheriff is running jails, arresting felons and keeping the peace. They uphold democracy, protecting people from the ‘tyranny’ of Federal politics. In many areas, the Sheriff is the highest law enforcement authority around. But what many people don’t know is that the Sheriff is elected into Office, running under the banner of Democrat or Republican. The Sheriff follows the 2018 election races in two counties across two States, Maryland and North Carolina, as candidates seek to become the top law enforcement officer. Against the backdrop of the national midterm elections, hyper-polarised politics are playing out at the local level. Unsurprisingly, the Trump Presidency hovers in the background. Just 18 days after his inauguration, the President welcomed a delegation from the National Sheriffs’ Association to the White House. Since then, the President – or ‘Sheriff in Chief’ – has kept up his relationship with the sheriffs and some of them have become vocal supporters of his immigration and border policies. All politics is personal and none more so than when it comes to electing the Sheriff. Big personalities, local issues and the Trump agenda will all play out. The race is on.
