The second of 大象传媒 HD's short film compilations showcases the work of some of Britain's up-and-coming filmmakers, presented in partnership with 大象传媒 Film Network. Rory Kinnear and Jodie Whittaker star in the Oscar-nominated Wish 143, while Alfie Allen comes up against an ominous authority in Tom Harper's Cherries, along with five more thrilling and visually adventurous short stories.
