Synopsis

There are three things in John's life - betting, betting and betting. Betting rules John's life in more ways than any 'normal' person can ever imagine. For John it's an obsession. His wife, Helen, puts up with it because she loves him and she loves the high of a big win, so long as he's honest with her. When female bookie, Stan, offers John and his mates outrageous bets with dangerous odds events start spiralling out of control as they dig themselves deeper into her pockets. Will John lose his marriage, could he lose his life?

Director: Giles Borg

Year: 2009

Bespectacled cardigan-wearer Stevie endures a job he despises and can’t get a girlfriend, but at least he has music. With his mate Neil, he’s been kicking about in bands for a while, but it is not until the pair team up with Billy, a more experienced hand with drive and ambition, and Billy’s cute pal Emily that the possibility they might be on to something good suggests itself. With a demo to tout, Stevie beats a well-trodden path to record company doors, but finds he has to manage the tensions developing within the band while keeping his own aspirations in check.
