A home-made Super-8 musical. Over an all-day drinking session, the dreams of a troubled romantic and his companions are worn away by ennui and isolation. With songs and dancing.
Capturing the unconventional handcrafted aesthetic of Aidan Smith’s songs, this is a musical for those who wouldn’t normally go near one. The dancing creaks and the vocals strain when four ordinary folk attempt to impose meaning and colour on their mundane and aimless lives. Sundays don’t come with a three-act structure, and we don’t have hidden reserves of magical talent: we have mood swings, private theories and temporary epiphanies.

2112 AD: a smug scientist is pushed to his limits when his domestic goddess wife gets the nuclear fear and can no longer see the point in doing her chores.
The Institute's zoomocracy can't be all work and no play - Graeme, for example, takes time out to facilitate and play for Go! PE Club FC, a third division Powerleague team comprised of filmmakers, poets, comics, thinkers and a disproportionate amount of box office clerks.
Having lost every single game of their first season, this video diary of Graeme's preparations for the first game of the new season provides an insight into what drives the team that even their opposition concede are "winners in spirit."
