Not We From Kings
Synopsis
England continues to suffer under her twin rulers' Edward and his chief counsellor and Mortimer's sworn enemy, Hugh Despenser.
When Mortimer arrives at the head of an invading army, and with the king's estranged wife, Isabella, at his side, it's immediately clear whose cause the people of England will support. Edward is captured and offered a stark choice: renounce the throne, or face his own son across a battlefield.
England crowns its new king - the 14-year-old Prince of Wales, but his inexperience shows when he mounts a campaign against the Scots that ends in humiliating defeat. He resents Mortimer's continuing affair with his mother and his unwillingness to hand over control of the country to its rightful ruler.
Mortimer's wealth and power are restored, but rumours of Edward II's 'unnatural' death begin to circulate. How long before the man who would be king is brought down?

Dream Space
Year: 2025

Genius The Movie
Year: 2026
George Best was one of the greatest footballers who ever lived. But he was so much more than that. Although the football pitch was his arena, Best was essentially a pop star - young, stylish, strikingly beautiful, possessed of a creative confidence that bordered on arrogance, and worshipped by young men and women alike. Like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.<br /> This film is simultaneously a celebration of a genius and an exploration of the demons that brought him down. We all know how these biopics traditionally work: in this case a talented but innocent young man from the backstreets of a divided but still pre-Troubles Belfast, becomes a star. But his time at the top is agonizingly short: a family history of alcoholism doesn’t help, in those pre-drug Sixties everyone wanted to buy him a drink, and before he was thirty, he was a washed up drunk. <br /> But we’re taking the Benjamin Button approach here. No-one wants to go out on a downer, with the end card telling us how many hundreds of thousands lined the streets of his home town to bid him farewell, along with the millions watching on live television.
