Dangerous Age, A

Synopsis:
Zach prowls a heat-struck beach on the shores of Lake Michigan, a secret longing for a man who changed his life forever with one act of love. Meanwhile Jackson sits in Hollywood pounding out furious emails to the President of the United States, fury at the war, fury at the fate his friends have suffered in a drowning New Orleans and most of all rage at the agony suffered by one particular soldier fighting in Iraq for a cause he cannot understand. . . a soldier named Zach. Why won't the White House listen? a Dangerous age is an utterly up to the minute contemporary tale that tells a simple love story - a story proving there is really no such thing as a 'one night stand'.

Days Of Light

Synopsis:
Hawaii. Late light slanting through bamboo blinds. Rattan chairs creaking. Ceiling fans turning lazily. the sameness of the seasons; no autumn, no spring. Underneath the ocean the magma rages. ageing ex-pat Miss Peoke awaits the return of her son, whilst Nathan anticipates the arrival of his new love. But what else is stirring in the crystal blue lagoon?

Don't Forget Me

Synopsis:
the subject is Hollywood. Its themes are threefold: the struggle of cinematic art to make its voice heard above the clamour of commercialism; the suppression of homosexual messages by an industry largly run by "fags and dykes", and the clash between romanticism and cynicism in a city where aspiration willingly feeds itself into a sausage-machine of explotation.
