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!!

still from Now AGAIN - Part Four Now AGAIN - Part Four

Director: Richard Philpott

Year: 2027

NOW AGAIN is the first filmic interpretation of Marcel Proust's entire novel 'À la recherche du temps perdu'. Part Four encompasses the volumes of THE PRISONER and THE FUGITIVE. Filmmaker Richard Philpott stretches narrative form into rich and varied experimental territories, providing a visual feast and sonic immersion, using AI and unique digital production techniques, to reveal the vast panoramic structure of Proust's great masterwork and provide a 21st century foundation for this timeless 20th century epic.
