Motherboard charts the joy, pain and comedy of raising a child alone. It’s a celebration of messy lives and proof that epic journeys can begin and end at home.

At the age of 38, Victoria found herself single, pregnant and broke. Unable to combine motherhood with freelance directing, she was forced to abandon her career in TV, instead turning the camera on herself and her son, Jim. Victoria first began documenting their lives with her old DVCAM before shooting almost daily on five generations of smartphones, from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 15. She recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs-up he gave during her first scan, to his first day at college.

Motherboard is a celebration of messy lives, solo motherhood, and proof that epic journeys can begin and end at home. Over two decades, Victoria captures a life where breast cancer, absent fathers and depression are part of the package, but where life still wins every time. And where everything will be fine as long as you don’t lose your sense of humour.

Motherboard is the antidote to the judgmental and unrealistic expectations we have about motherhood, creating an honest, funny and relatable film for any mother who has wept tears of both joy and frustration.

Academy Award-winner Steven Spielberg was only twenty-six years old when he directed Jaws, a movie that changed the way audiences experienced movies by setting the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense. Based on a novel by Peter Benchley, Jaws was a massive box office success, becoming the highest grossing movie in history.

Jaws won three Academy Awards: Best Film Editing, Best Original Dramatic Score, and Best Sound. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected Jaws for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Jaws pushed the envelope behind the camera as well. It was filmed in Massachusetts in the summer of 1974 and was the first major motion picture to be filmed in the ocean.

John Williams created the suspenseful score for Jaws that became a cultural phenomenon, and its influence can be seen in countless horror and suspense films that followed. The two notes, “dun dun, dun dun, dun dun,” led to Williams's first of 26 Grammy awards and second of five Academy Awards.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws - perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.
