Synopsis

It's not 1985 anymore...it's 1986, and Chuck Steel is "the best God damn cop on the force" according to his long suffering boss, Captain Jack Schitt. But even this maverick, renegade, loose cannon, lone wolf, cop on the edge, who doesn't play by the rules has his work cut out when the Governor of LA decides to reduce the licensing hours for clubs and bars triggering a sudden, inexplicable spate of high profile disappearances in the city. The disappearances all have the same thing in common, a crime scene covered in blood but with no sign of the victim. The police are perplexed until they get a break in the case when one of the victims manages to escape. Chuck goes to interview the victim at the hospital but is confronted by a crazed old man who introduces himself as Abraham Van Rental. He warns a disbelieving Chuck that an evil scourge is about to descend on the city of Los Angeles - the scourge of the TRAMPIRES - a mutated hybrid of vampire and tramp.

Synopsis

The story follows the highs and lows as Emily - a regular clubber - tries ecstasy for the 1st time, and it changes her life forever. What starts as fun and enlightening turns dark as the truth she finds may not be as it seems. However, we cannot ignore the 2nd line of the film - The Drug is a metaphor - this isn't only about drugs - it's about all the things we bolt on to make us feel better, when the truth is - feeling better is a choice we make inside. 'Emily's Story' reflects the clubbing environment of the late 1990s and is presented in a unique format - designed that it can be viewed in a nightclub as well as on normal home-based outlets. The Storytelling is intense and opens the viewer up to self examination and realisation, to understand what metaphorical drugs they use in life to overcome feelings of low self worth (fashion, celebrity and powerful cars). A Unique production, available in 2 lengths for the clubber or shortened for regular film viewer. Think 'Trainspotting' meets 'Alice in Wonderland' and you wont be dissapointed
