A 'slacker revenge movie' set in Austin, Texas.
Erica (Amanda Fuller) lives rent-free in the local co-op, but spends her nights trawling the bars and beds of Austin. Damaged, emotionally withdrawn, never really connecting with anyone, sleeping with men is just what she does - until she meets the older and mysterious Nate (Noah Taylor), working in a hardware store, but with an 'honorable discharge' from Iraq.
Despite his quiet air of danger, Nate's the only guy who doesn't seem to want to get her into bed at the first opportunity, and the two form a hesitant bond. But one of Erica's casual sexual encounters is about to bite back.
Franki (Marc Senter) is a young, hot-headed wannabe rock star trying to make it big. Looking after a sick mother and estranged from his longterm girlfriend, he 'shared' Erica with his buddies one drunken evening on the tiles. A shocking twist of fate is all it takes to throw his already crazy world into a spin, and in Franki's eyes there is only one person to blame.
A socially awkward Londoner is lonely at Christmas. When a cold city girl rejects his gesture of goodwill, he takes drastic action. Roar is a smart and subversive short film that will haunt you for months.
Liverpool, August 1976. Five-year-old Fergus' eyes lit up when he met Frankie on his first day at school. They've been in each other's shadow ever since. As teenagers, in the Spring of 1986, they skipped school and drank cider on the ferry over the river Mersey, dreaming about future adventures and travelling the world.
In September 2004, Fergus (ex-SAS) persuaded Frankie (ex-Para) to join his team in Iraq and earn £12,000 a month tax free as a private security contractor - their last chance to "load up" in this increasingly privatised war.
2006, and Baghdad is the most dangerous city in the world. Route Irish - as nicknamed by occupying forces, is the most dangerous road in this city, running from Baghdad airport to the Green Zone. Together Frankie and Fergus risk their lives in a city steeped in violence, terror, impunity, greed, and awash with cash - US dollars, by the billions. But Route Irish has a fate in store for the friends that neither could have imagined.
The Firm is based on the Alan Clarke's original 1989 classic which focused on UK football hooligan culture, where gangs were known as firms and members were described as casuals due to their uniform of designer clothing. Dom is an aspiring casual who gets drawn into the charismatic but dangerous world of the firm's leader, Bex.
Karen (Archie Panjabi) is resigned to a life of suburban ennui, the dreams of her youth a distant memory. On an autumn afternoon as she struggles to get her baby to sleep she is disturbed by a door-to-door Salesman (Christopher Eccleston). Desperate for adult companionship she engages with the enigmatic Salesman. He makes a claim that he can sell her something that will radically change her life; he offers Karen, an opportunity to fulfill long forgotten dreams and ambitions. But is Karen prepared to pay the price?
The Calvin family win a cereal competition and an all expenses paid scuba diving trip to an idyllic countryside lake. Whilst diving there's an unexplained catastrophic event and they are the only survivors - or so they think.
The Last Breath is a surreal, breath-taking excursion into the dark heart of family life.
Based on an actor who suffers from an identity crisis with his film noir private detective character, whom I shall fondly refer to as - The Mole (his character actually wears a facial mole!).
Downtown Los Angeles - the last customers are finishing their early evening business at the bank. At 6:08pm on 09/09/09 there will be an automatic timer test on the vault.

Wearing Wizard of Oz masks for disguise the heist is on, the one condition for success, they must be out by 18:10. Everything is carried out to plan, until at 18:09, a second group of robbers wearing super hero masks enter; they have been given the same inside tip.
