Spare Change

Spare Change

Don't always count a coin by its face value. Because until you hold it yourself, you will never know its 'true' worth.

I Think, Therefore I Want

I Think, Therefore I Want

Charlie and Rose, a young couple aiming to sell a painting entitled ‘I Think, Therefore I Want’, struggle to hide their rising frustrations at one another throughout the evening of the exhibition.

Even Solomon

Even Solomon

Stephen (Paul Henley) works in a bank. A virgin, he shows no interest in sex, and is cruelly scorned by an aggressive female neighbour when he rebuffs her advances. He lives with his mother, an overbearing woman who mocks him for being wet. But Stephen has a secret – he likes to wear women’s clothing. When his horrified mother finds out, she takes him to meet a fellow cross-dresser to ‘solve’ the problem. But the meeting ends unexpectedly, when the other man realises that Stephen is not transvestite, but transsexual.

Property Rites

Property Rites

Partly based on a true event, the death in 1817 of a Birmingham woman, Mary Ashford, and the consequent trial of a local man, Abraham Thornton, for her rape and murder. The film is concerned with the response of her contemporaries to her behaviour on the night before she died, and by situating this within the fictional circumstances of a modern woman, explores current attitudes to rape, and the forces and assumptions underlying them.
