　In his first film, Shane Atkinson goes back to a cinema that isn’t afraid of mixing genres, where noir and western coexist with the most corrosive of comedies and pulp detective stories. LaRoy, some sort of earthly fairy tale, centers around the life of Ray—he’s doing quite well with his small hardware store, and is married to Stacy-Lynn, the town’s beauty queen. But his dream present crumbles when his friend Skyp, a private investigator, reveals to him that his wife is having an affair. Devastated by the news, he decides to take his own life, but when he’s about to shoot himself, he is approached by a man who mistakes him for a hitman and offers him a considerable amount of cash for a job. A wildly intelligent narrative about pathetic characters that oscillates in the thin line between irony and empathy without the audience noticing.

Refuge is a suspense-thriller about a family struggling to survive in the wake of a great catastrophic event. As food and supplies dwindle and the threat of marauders becomes more apparent, the family must ultimately face the decision to either stay in hiding or go in search of an elusive mansion they've heard of - that may or may not exist.
