Synopsis
After being rejected by his former record label for being too old, Johnny passes off the single to a Radio DJ and says it's by a young, unknown Welsh rock band he is managing. Much to everyone's surprise, it receives immediate air play. Johnny and his old band assemble a rowdy bunch of teenagers to be the face of the song and through the process teach them how to have true punk rock spirit.
The emotional core of the film centers on Johnny's relationship with his wife, Jules - an aged groupie who feels the heavy hands of her biological clock ticking away. The film chronicles this outlandish moment in music history from Johnny's point of view, and recounts his tumultuous journey with his wife.

Very Annie-Mary
Director: Sara Sugarman
Year: 2001
Annie-Mary is an awkward and secretly rebellious 20 something still living at home in a village in the Welsh valleys with her womanising widowed father. Moral support comes from the odd collection of characters who make up the population of the village but it takes a series of calamities with unexpected silver linings before Annie-Mary can finally stand up and claim her freedom. Very Annie-Mary is a joyful, poignant film about striking out against the odds, and winning in the most eccentric way.
Mad Cows
Director: Sara Sugarman
Year: 1999
Every woman wants to be wanted . . . just not by the entire Metropolitan Police Force.<br /> <br /> <br /> Maddy's first day out with her newborn takes a Kafkaesque turn when she's arrested in Harrods for shoplifting. If this is a miscarriage of justice, then detaining her in Holloway Prison's Mother and Baby Unit is the pits. Panicked at the thought of enforced adoption, she smuggles Jack to freedom in her friend Gillian's handbag - a woman with the maternal instincts of a guppy fish.<br /> <br /> <br /> Finding herself a runner-up in the Human Race, the only person Maddy can turn to is her hot-to-trot ex-lover Alex . . . who proves himself as useful as a solar-powered vibrator on a rainy day. The trouble with Alex is his sex appeal - he gives generously.<br /> <br /> <br /> Will Maddy ever escape the evil clutches of Edwina Phelps, prison psychotherapist? With the emphasis on physcho. Will she ever see Alex for what he is: a self-made man . . . who worships his creator? When will Alex realise that a 'paternity suit' is not the latest look in men's wear? How do you brief a lawyer with a heat seeking penis which does not report to mission control? And why the hell is Gillian searching for a sperm happy to get egg all over its face?<br /> <br /> <br /> There's hard knocks and rude shocks in this devastatingly witty screenplay. You'll split your episiotomy stitches laughing.
