Beyond the Fire

From tragedy comes a burning love, but can passion survive the torment of a sinister past? When Katie (Cara Seymour) meets a fellow rape survivor called Sheamy (Scot Williams) their relationship is jeopardised from the start due to Sheamy's state of denial, as well as other dark secrets he has buried for years. Filmstar magazine called "Beyond the Fire" a 'refreshingly un-histrionic look at sexual abuse within the priesthood', and the Guardian praised it for it's 'heart-on-sleeve emotionalism' and it's 'unironic belief in the power of love'. Winner of the Best UK Feature award at the London Independent Film Festival 2009.

    Well worth seeing

    This is a fascinating and different take on one of the biggest religious scandals.

    Indie Love Story

    I really liked this quirky little film. The cast were brilliant and relatively unknown. THey did a great job with the storyline and I thought the sex scenes were really sweet too. Would deinitely recommend this to anyone bored with the Hollywood romance!!!! The underline story in this is handled well and sensitively. My only quibble would be that I did not particularly like the music and singing which was a little indulgent but it does not detract from what is in essence a good film.
