Static
Synopsis:
Static is rooted very topically in the real world, following a young British man's journey home from work mirrored by a young woman's journey through a nameless (Eastern) European country at war. Their stories collide at the moment he gets home from his dead-end job to witness her discovery of her murdered husband's body on the television news. Static is about caring, or not, about real events that are happening two hours journey from London and is a timely and moving response to a world gone mad.

Tangle
Synopsis:
At the moment we're mostly interested in Teleportation. Not like in Star Trek but like in real life. Currently, scientists working in the invisible world of Quantum Physics can teleport very small "balls" of atoms. Which is pretty amazing. they reckon that it could only be another hundred years before we're able to teleport objects and ultimately people from our 'visible' (or Classical) world. This is prettier amazing. So TANGLE is about the ethics of progress. It's about heroes. It's about a man wanting to find out what happens to feelings and memories when you teleport an exact atomic replica of your Self. It's about daring to believe in things we cannot see. It's about forty fiveminutes long.
