Do you know the best service anyone could render to art? Destroy all biographies. Only art can explain the life of a man - and not the contrary." - Orson Welles, 1962.

Broken Biscuits

Synopsis:
Lurid psychedelic satire on mental health social workers. When naive young social work student Enid is posted to an estate where everyone is mad, she suspects a conspiracy- but nothing can prepare her for the sinister machinations of radical careworker BOB, who is building an army of the dispossessed from the dregs of society. Soon Enid's own sanity is put to the test, as apocalyptic riots engulf the estate, summoning up ghosts from her own shadowy childhood.

Naked Soul Of Kirk Godless, The

Synopsis:
a love story. after losing his job at the abattoir/coffee shop, scruffy misfit Kirk seeks solace from his father, a mentally ill cat breeder whose cruel jibes only serve to undermine his hapless sons mental equilibrium, and our hero descends into the nihilistic world of online skin-flick addiction. Meanwhile his neighbour, beautiful but morbid Doris, agoraphobicaly absorbs herself in books on third world famine. as their mental health crumbles and reality gives way to hallucination, these two victims of the new information age find themselves drawn into a co-dependent purgatory which will change both of their lives, forever.

Package, The

Synopsis:
In a sleet-scarred northern city of perpetual night, verbose Pontefract mobster MOFFaT comes into possession of the most desirable object in the world, and finds himself pursued by a gallery of avaricious grotesques, each desperate to get their hands on the ultimate commodity. Police, politicians, philosophers and pimps are united in their desire to destroy Moffat and seize his Package for themselves. Inhabiting a universe populated almost exclusively by perverse and demented enemies, Moffat resorts to ever more vicious and impossible tactics as he proceeds ineluctably towards his meeting with the shadowy BUYER, and the terrifying prospect of THE UNWRaPPING. But for all his ruthless terrorism, the hollow, haunted Moffat is drawn equally inexorably toward a final, definitive confrontation with his bete noir MIFFY, a heartbreakingly beautiful ghost who has passed beyond his world of depraved greed, to a land of transcendent twinklyness. Will Moffat conquer his own callous venality and achieve self-realisation? Or will his rancid hamartias drag him into the same festering depths of degradation as his rivals? The answer to these questions and more can only be found within the whispering, giggling brown paper of THE PaCKaGE. . .
