Come Home Badger Gash

Synopsis:
When Charles 'Badger' Gash returns to his childhood home in the North East, all he wants to do is restart his life, pick up those pieces and put things back together. However, his over bearing mother, a reckless pastor, and his violent, vengeance obsessed brother Billy have other plans. And towering above it all - the shadow of Jackie Prentice. Come Home, Badger Gash is a black comedy about small town grudges, personal imprisonment and family.

Pink Confetti

Synopsis:
In a world where political divides gape open, and personal wounds are wider still, loyalty means everything. The question becomes how far are you willing to go? It's 1973 and in the gloom of a Belfast safe house, tied to a chair, sits a hooded man. His captors, 'Redhand' Ennis and 'Halftank' McGee, nervously await the interrogator's arrival by seeking distraction in tea and bickering. Nearby, a dog lies dead by the side of the road and it's all Halftank's fault. What follows will not only test their loyalty to breaking point, but also bring their very humanity into question.

Notes:
