Lazy Days....Crazy Nights

Synopsis

Stephanie is a talented young singer frustrated by the lack of success she is experiencing with her Lo-Fi band and the mundane nature of everyday life. However, after a chance meeting with a publicist, Stephanie is given the opportunity to reinvent herself as a conventional solo pop star.

Initially Stephanie resists,however, when two members of her own band leave in order to join another, more successful group, Stephanie agrees to undergo the gruelling physical and musical transformation that her new record company believe will result in pop success.

Having allowed herself to be recreated in the image her record company believes will make her both physically and commercially attractive, Stephanie finds she is rapidly rewarded with a level of success she had once thought impossible. However, in doing so Stephanie is also forced to give up her free will, having effectively handed control of her life over to the record company who dictate every aspect of her world, from where she lives to whom she is seen out with. Confronted by her complete lack of control over the life she thought she wanted, Stephanie is forced to try and reconcile her new found success with her true persona.

Director: Samuel Dale

Year: 2004

Using a mixture of animation and live action Canning Town Fox tells the true story of a hapless shoe salesman named Barney Banard who borrowed £30,000 from a one-legged loan shark named Beryl in order to buy up the world supply of Speed Brogues, (a new type of motorised shoe).<br />  <br /> Unfortunately, it transpired that the company manufacturing the Speed Brogues were also illegally importing Nigerian Fighting Kittens, (hidden in crates of shoe leather) into this country. When the news broke Barney found himself unable to sell his Speed Brogues and as such had to find another way to repay the money that he had borrowed fom Beryl. After sometime he encountered an African national named Godfrey Breslaw who offered to share a fortune in gold doubloons with him, (which unbeknownst to Barney had been stolen from his girlfriend Athena's father several years earlier) if he helped to reclaim them. Unfortunately, when Barney went to pay off his debts Beryl smelt a rat and decided to tie Athena to a train track until Barney told her how he got the money and if there was anymore where it came from - And then things really started to get complicated.

Euphoria Blackout Euphoria Blackout

Director: Samuel Dale

Year: 2002

Caitlin is a young freelance photographer living in an oppressive and impersonal city. Following a series of events, both economic and spiritual, that result in a global recession and subsequent mass unemployment, Caitlin watches as the people around her attempt to come to terms with living a life that no longer seems safe or familiar.<br /> <br /> At first Caitlin sets out to record the everyday people affected by the crash, whose plight is being almost completely ignored by the mass media, who seem interested in reporting nothing but feel-good propaganda and help perpetuate what amounts to a news blackout.<br /> <br /> With the crisis continuing to grow, many turn to religious cults that recommend increasingly violent action against the people they believe to be responsible for the global recession.<br /> <br /> As lawlessness descends upon the city, what remains of the established orders begins a brutal crack down and Caitlin is forced to take drastic action in order to save herself.
