Love Is Not Enough

Synopsis

For 100 years the movie business has been driven by entrepreneurs ploughing all their passion and energy into bringing entertainment to the masses. This film is about one such individual, an independent filmmaker with a burning ambition to make movies. However, right now, he's due to shoot a pop promo for an unsigned pop group. But things take a downturn when he is late for a meeting with a top Hollywood movie executive and then later his agent fires him.

Undeterred, he decides to use the band's money to finish his own film, a film he's been working on unsuccessfully for over five years. He contacts his original cast and discovers they are no longer available, such as the lead actress heavily pregnant and the lead actor refusing to continue after so long a delay. But this is the 21st Century and anything is possible so we take to the road and follow his attempts to complete his seminal movie project. However, it's not as easy as it seems. These days' people want dough for the show. They want to know what they're doing and where they're doing it. They want to see a script, they want food, and most of all they want paying. But this is lo-no budget. There's no script, no food and no money. There's only love. And sometimes love is not enough.

Ham and The Piper Ham and The Piper

Director: Mark Norfolk

Year: 2011

Set in London, Burt, an elderly West Indian man (Jeffery Kissoon) has been married to his Jewish wife Jean (Jennifer Guy) for over twenty-five years. But one day when he is overlooked at work and his wife falls seriously ill Burt finds himself having to contemplate life without her. Consumed with grief he begins to question whether his long marriage has meant sacrificing his own African heritage. Thus begins a monumental battle between the opposing sides of Burt's subconscious mind. The fight between good and evil reaches a turning point and just when Burt concedes defeat to the darker side of his alter-ego, uninvited guests begin showing up at the family home and his fragile state of mind leads him to reach a shocking conclusion. <br /> <br /> Ham and The Piper is a quirky, touching and at times explosive drama exploring how we might put aside perceived cultural and religious historical injustice and find ways to love each other.

Crossing Bridges Crossing Bridges

Director: Mark Norfolk

Year: 2005

Julius has lived in London nearly all his life and has witnessed the city changing. Life hasn’t been great, but now he’s up for promotion. He’s worked for the company for 15 years and thinks he has a good chance of landing the job. But he also has a secret which threatens to jeopardise everything - his daughter has charged him with abuse.<br /> <br /> Things begin to go wrong for Julius when he is made redundant and finds himself on the scrap heap: 55 years old, divorced, unemployed and facing jail. As far as he’s concerned life isn’t worth living and he decides to end it all. But then he meets an Angel and decides to take her with him as he says goodbye to the city he loves. This sets off a chain of events that not only jeopardises his case, but also the very life he wishes to end.<br /> <br /> With nothing to lose, Julius’ unfulfilled dreams become the battleground for a journey of discovery that delves into his fractured mind and the underbelly of his urban environment, forcing him to face the demons that beset him and the realisation that sometimes it’s harder to take the easy route.
