The Mortician 3D
Synopsis
The banking system is failing, and the city is bankrupt. The poor are corralled into lawless ghettos. The crime rate soars, but as long as the violence doesn't spill into their fancy backyards, the politicians don't care.
In the decaying city, he processes corpses with a steely disregard. His work is conducted with a ritualistic eye for detail and an unyielding adherence to routine. The Mortician (Method Man) is alienated and cold. Emotionally isolated and lonely, his work is his purpose, his fascination with taxidermy his only distraction. An insomniac, he walks the deserted ghetto streets at night, watching the creatures of the night go about their business.
The Mortician is a contemporary urban fairytale, one that triumphs kindness over cruelty. A story of reconciliation and hope in face of violence and darkness.

Oil in the Blood
Director: Gareth Maxwell Roberts
Year: 2019
A documentary feature film on the contemporary custom motorcycle culture. It's not a film about motorcycles, it's a film about motorcycle people. <br /> The philosophy of individualism is embedded in motorcycling. Modifying, customising, changing bikes is at the very heart of the biker. <br /> The scene is a paradox where analogue values are promoted through the digital world. A movement that harks back to old school values only made possible through the online portal of social media. Young people are engaging with motorcycling once again. There has been a massive influx of women into motorcycling. Standards of design and engineering continue to surge forward, with better and bolder bikes being created as builders continue to hone their skills and push forward their imaginative boundaries. The manufacturers have engaged with builders, facilitated and collaborated on projects, and helped individual builders direct and fine-tune their small businesses. <br /> We've witnessed a revitalisation of the motorbike. The motorcycling industry has finally started listening to bikers, and the wider motorcycle culture is benefiting. Motorbikes have become cool again.
