Starving
From Writer & Director Dean Francis
1997. Jake, 18, is a closeted queer punk suffocating in a decaying regional town. When a magnetic drifter named Dylan pulls up in a car that looks like a coffin and invites Jake on a road trip, Jake trades his dead-end life for heroin, desire, and a boy whose kiss comes with teeth. As the bodies pile up along the Pacific Highway and Jake's transformation accelerates, his estranged mother and abandoned girlfriend race to find him — carrying a secret about Dylan that stretches back thirty years to a massacre the town buried and forgot.

Frankie
From Writer & Director Dean Francis
Karl, an ageing fashion visionary, shocks the industry when he unveils Frank — a towering, impossibly hot model who looks less like a man than a masterpiece. But behind the spectacle lies horror: Frank has been stitched together from the murdered bodies of beautiful young men, Karl personally luring his victims, hacking them apart, and grafting their best features into his patchwork muse. At first, the gamble pays off — Frank explodes as the world’s ultimate It Boy, adored and devoured by fashion’s glittering elite. But perfection can’t last. Viral scandals, drugs, and humiliations tear at his seams. Frank craves love and freedom, but a world obsessed with his image won’t give him anything real. Starved of the very things that might make him whole, he finally ruptures under the weight of his fame — and at the Met Gala, he literally comes apart, showering the industry in the blood it feeds upon. A satirical, psychosexual body horror about creation, control, and the monsters fashion makes.

Bestial
From Writer & Director Dean Francis
Mark, a brilliant young surgeon, saves his beautiful wife Silvia from a fatal car crash by secretly performing an illegal xenotransplant — implanting her with animal organs. Miraculously she survives, but she begins to change. At the insistence of Mark’s mentor Dominic, they retreat to his isolated country estate, where the old housekeeper Mrs Cork whispers of local curses and prowling spirits. Silvia grows feral, roaming the forest, seducing the stable boy — until his mutilated body is found, killed as if by human teeth. Mark is torn between science and superstition, obsession and fear, even as he finds himself aroused by Silvia’s animalistic new self. As Silvia descends into savagery, the villagers themselves become prey. A psychosexual, erotic body horror in which love, lust, and monstrosity blur into one.
