A romantic comedy with a subversive yet uplifting message. Based on Matt Thorne’s award-winning novel of life in a Bristol Call Centre.
Having chosen the easiest office job he can find, Dan wrongly assumes that no one will have any expectations of him and he can get on with his simple ambition for an easy life. These hopes are wrecked when a misunderstanding with his mother results in his sudden eviction from home and he must resort to secretly living in the call centre with his cat.
A complex web of secrets and lies leads Dan into a series of increasingly bizarre and uncompromising scenarios and he is gradually stripped of everything he has taken for granted: clean clothes, an iPod, friends, and his self respect. His future is on hold, his life is in limbo, and morality has also been temporarily suspended. It is only the fragile blossoming love affair with the one person on the team who is possibly worse off than himself that eventually provides Dan with the courage to create a romantic ending that defies conventional expectations.
Socially-challenged hitman Charles lives in Cannes and wants to retire with a yacht and a woman in tow.

Charles hunts them down across the Cote d'Azur whilst pursued by his rival Clancy who is incensed by the fact that Charles might actually be retiring.

In Dreams is a profound and experimental documentary focusing on the weirdest and most vivid dreams of normal individuals. After numerous interviews, five of the most imaginative and outstanding interviews were selected for the documentary.
Camelot is closed, King Arthur is dead and the Round Table is no more. Trainee knights GILBERT (a highly-strung hypochondriac) and EDGAR (an up-beat Christian) find themselves wandering the land in the company of a MYSTERIOUS KNIGHT in search of money, adventure and comfortable underwear.
When the mysterious knight dies (mysteriously) Gilbert and Edgar find themselves in possession of a letter addressed to him from a certain KING KENDRICK, entreating him to help rescue his recently kidnapped daughter KATRINA. The letter comes with a bag of gold. Gilbert and Edgar act at once... they spend the gold.
One pair of pants and a saint’s kneecap later, the two knights are
once again on their uppers. Whilst drowning their sorrows in a
village grog shack, however, the two men get wind of an
employment opportunity in the local castle of KING VINCENT of
Essex. They make their way to the castle and are immediately hired
as security guards.
Their jobs, however, are a little less than chivalrous, as it transpires
that their main duty is to guard the recently abducted Princess
Katrina, King Vincent’s bride-to-be. Far from being the damsel in
distress of legend Princess Katrina is in fact a violent, foul-mouthed
bully who harangues Gilbert into agreeing to help rescue her. Edgar,
meanwhile, is approached by Katrina’s altogether more pleasant
(and comely) sister RACHAEL who appeals to Edgar’s sense of
decency and he too agrees to help.
Sworn to secrecy, the two hapless knights begin separate (and
misguided) plans to rescue Princess Katrina whilst trying to avoid
the various unpleasant inhabitants of the castle.
Can the two knights escape this casserole of intrigue? Can they
rescue the Princess and put pay to the wicked king?
KNIGHT KNIGHT is a tale of saddle-sore knights, castle politics and
