Ferment Ferment

Director: Tim Macmillan

Year: 1999

A quiet city square, people strolling by, children running around. An old man sits having a sandwich with his granddaughter on a bench. He has a heart attack and as he falls to the ground, time stands still. We travel away from the square and across the town, down streets, through buildings, into rooms and along corridors, catching glimpses of people and snatches of sound as they exist in that one instant . . .

Animation poster Iron-Cock

Director: Gareth Bevan

Year: 2026

In a world where convenience store shenanigans reign supreme, one sinister billionaire - Leonardo - who has decided he must possess the ultimate secret: the Snoochie Boochies formula. If he can't have it, NO ONE CAN. With his nefarious Leonardo League at his side, he sets out to obliterate the Quick Stop, erase all traces of Snoochie Boochies, and bring an end to Jay and Silent Bob’s reign of lowbrow genius forever. But Leonardo messed with the wrong stoners. Jay and Silent Bob don their legendary alter egos - Iron Bob and The Cock - to take the fight to Leonardo, Leonardo, in an epic battle of wits, fists, and excessive profanity. Exploding bong grenades, slow-mo sequences, a heartfelt monologue about life, and an unnecessarily dramatic face-off in a convenience store parking lot - it’s all here. Will our heroes stop Leonardo before he forces the world into corporate-sponsored mediocrity? Will Jay remember to keep his pants on? Will Silent Bob say something deeply profound at just the right moment? Find out this November in… IRON-COCK: The Animated Adventures Episode 1: Snoochie Boochies: Endgame!!
