 Waiting For Gaga         Writer's Block

Waiting For Gaga

Synopsis:
The local music store has seen better days. With more people downloading music it seems that less people are interested in visiting music stores. To make matters worse, the owner of the shopping complex has threatened to shut the business down due to the fact that it isn't making any money. As the end of business seems inevitable, in a desperate attempt to increase business, store manager Payton (having a momentary lapse of judgement) announces that the store is to expect a visit from pop sensation Lady Gaga, which will no doubt generate a lot of interest in the failing store. But will she turn up?

Writer's Block

Synopsis:
Dick Pratt is a writer who has fallen on hard times. With no food in his house and only $16.70 to his name, Dick is forced to take a writing job for a publication that he thinks is deplorable and trashy. Fueled by a cocktail of booze, pills and severe lack of sleep, a standard case of writer's block quickly becomes a descent into madness. Writer's Block is a solo black comedy about one man's battle to the ultimate deadline.
