Synopsis

A truncated woman thrusts awkwardly from a school-desk, motionless except for her spinning, shaking mouth. The novice must rehearse the lesson dictated by an unseen voice. She must sacrifice unbounded desire, press it into language, into discipline, into rule. Her body refuses the lesson but remains trapped by its rote.

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

Synopsis

Based on Colin Wilson's novel ‘Adrift in Soho’, published in 1961, following the book’s critique of society through the bohemian Soho of the 1950s with its trappings between the daytime poverty and the libertarian nightlife, and portraying a group of young people who meet in Soho. Starting as a fictional drama about a documentary, the film ends up as a documentary of a fictional drama through the lens of a group of young filmmakers. It can be seen as an homage to the Free Cinema filmmakers of the 1950s, a movement that Colin Wilson lived through and very much identified with.
