When a wealthy stockbroker hires a rough builder to renovate the wine cellar underneath his country house, the two men fall out with chilling consequences. A Gothic suspense thriller inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and hailed by David Fincher as 'a morbid yet classy take on a morbid classic'. A tense thriller about wealth, wine and the art of bricklaying, BRICKS updates Edgar Allan Poe's classic revenge tale 'The Cask of Amontillado' for our times. Rich stockbroker William (Blake Ritson, DA VINCI'S DEMONS) hires rough builder Clive (Jason Flemyng, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON) to renovate his wine cellar. The two men couldn't be more different: William is rich and refined; Clive is tough and uncouth. But in the shadowy cellar they find common ground. At least at first...

Ode to Desolation shares the story of Jim Henterly, a naturalist, illustrator and fire lookout as he contemplates the dwindling days of Fire Lookouts in North America.
