Hardcore

Hardcore
Four guys are trying hard to make it in the bizarre world of British porn. For Robert, rapidly approaching 25, being in a porn film is something that's always appealed, up there with paragliding, to be ticked off the wish list' before it's too late. To Kevin, committed struggling actor, well, it's just work -a way of showing his Dramatic versatility: 'a straight man in a gay film, what could be more versatile than that?' Martin, new to London, new to the scene, sees it as a bit of a laugh with a shag thrown in. It's left to Craig, veteran of two previous films to put them right: to dispel their illusions about the raunch and the glamour, and to prepare the boys for the huge gulf between the watching and making of pornography.

Mr Elliott

Synopsis:
Mr Elliott has been teaching in the same classroom in the same school on the same Bradford estate for over twenty years. An estate of low paid jobs and five star dreams; where the only chance to escape seems to be through drink or drugs or schemes for a 'Hello' style wedding. The type of estate that attracts millions of pounds in one fancily-titled scheme after another, but to little or no real effect on its residents' lives. Then an unexpected - and illicit - encounter with an ex-pupil in a local park leads Mr Elliott, a happily-married teacher in his mid-forties, to reassess his life and priorities.
