King of Pangea

In 1976, Harold Wilson announces his shock resignation as Prime Minister and the Labour government has a sudden power vacuum. Feuding cabinet giants – Roy Jenkins, Denis Healey and Tony Crosland – meet to discuss who should succeed him.

The Gang Of Three

Two young women meet late one night in a car park, and immediately fall in love... while dogging. With all their friends watching, they explore the boundaries of their sexualities, and start their own feminist porn company. But all of a sudden, their cosy little world is shattered by new proposed legislation intent on outlawing female pleasure, and they find themselves dragged into politics. From village park to parliament, the valiant lovers become fighters in a battle for their rights.

Puppy

Meet the Hendersons, a happily dysfunctional family, reuniting for their dad’s third (or fourth?) wedding. But nobody expects the death of his bachelorhood to become an actual funeral… It would be a waste of the hotel function room not to repurpose it, right?

Firebird

Is obsession even about the person you're obsessed with? When desire meets fantasy, we transform someone into something - something that we need them to be, and in turn something that allows us to be someone else.

Looking for Giants

This is the question seven old friends find themselves asking at their 10-year sixth-form reunion. Because it wasn’t all just a bit of sex, drugs and fun. Not for those who had the lines of consent, abuse and homophobia blurred and possibly crossed by people they trusted. But when everyone was in on it, who’s the one at fault?
