A year later, Fient worked on the prequel to "Shagged", which was named "Scatplay". This looked at the effects of domestic violence, and premiered at Greenwich PictureHouse in August 2013. This has since gone onto do the same as "Shagged".
In 2014, Fient Directed and Produced the short film "9 Months", written by BBC Screenwriter, Darren Rapier.

During 2014, Fient also Directed and Edited a Music Video Hybrid, for Los Angeles-based Executive Producer and Actor, Paul Howard.
