The short film "Clipped" is a Labour of Love to all concerned and has taken a couple of different forms over the last couple of years. It's based in and around the dark world of online grooming and the misuse of technology by adults, It captures the abuse of power and the appeal of Urban crime and misogynistic lad culture.
A karmatic series of events. Part revenge thriller, Part Social warning.
It examines the “get rich quick” idea of Urban youth and the notion of entitlement and takes a look at how we've changed as a society over the years. From leaving your door open, to having it kicked in for valuables. .

Frances, (Mary Murray, Love Hate, The Magdalene Sisters) is a single Mum to a teenage daughter(Joanne), takes the reins of a barbershop, to bring a semblance of normality after great trauma and personal grief in their recent lives. Although the community at large has embraced and encouraged them, certain elements in the wider community are scheming to disrupt this new dawn and make life difficult. A seemingly chance encounter with a local enigmatic thug (Dafhyd Flynn, MICHAEL INSIDE) leads to a chase fraught with panic as it becomes clear that France’s Daughter was the focus of an online grooming plot for some time. Every parent's worst nightmare.
