Bojangles

Synopsis

Night. A deserted New York bar, a lonely barman. A clown runs through the forest pursued by something he cannot escape from. A man enters the bar for a drink and the conversation leads to why he is there, tracking down old schoolfriends with the help of something sinister. Sammy Davis Jr croons away 'Bojangles' on the jukebox as the clown bursts in to the bar and promptly expires. 'Schooldays, best days of our lives - I'm not so sure - When Bojangles comes to call, the time for all apologies is gone, time to admire his sleight of hand.

Film in post production Layby

Director: Jason Bradbury

Year:

Long-distance lorry driver Kieran has built his life around control. He keeps emotional risk at arm's length, seeking anonymous hook ups in laybys where connection is never part of the deal. Until Aidan emerges from the treeline, volatile and unnervingly intense. Kieran, convinced he's in control, ignores every warning sign until the police arrive and the carefully constructed boundaries of his life begin to collapse. LAYBY is a queer psychosexual thriller about collision between control and connection. Set over one night in a remote Scottish layby, it is a story about the need for intimacy and how far we'll go into the dark to find it.
