Jemima: Photographic Trophy

Synopsis

Jemima has had her unfair share of terrible relationships. Fate has been so unkind that she is now regularly visited by a spirit of herself as she was in her childhood, who returns to offer guidance. But things are about to change as Jemima gets involved with a new man. A man with more than a few secrets. There is a reason for this film’s title, and it’s not a pretty one. A whimsical and gruesome character-driven dose of the unusual from the darkest depths of Glasgow. - Mitch Davis
