DREGS

Rich — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:00:57 +0000

If the beginning of the world started with a bang then it ended with a very different sound. A sound so powerful that it made everyone tear their ears off in agony and roll their eyes back into their heads as the last traces of humanity were forced from their bodies. Now they stand frozen to the spot; ‘Statics’, controlled by the last sound they ever heard. Unless anyone or anything around them makes a sound, whereupon they turn en mass to destroy it, tearing at it with their bare hands until nothing remains, before reverting to their static state. This happened to everyone, everywhere, in that same final moment – everyone except the heroin addicts; the ‘Dregs’!

WORKING TITLE: PORTUGAL

Rich — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:00:23 +0000

Three late-teenage friends on holiday in Portugal, awake on a beach after a night of partying to find a tonne of hash washed up in crates on the shore. Seizing the moment they realise that if they could sell it back home in England they would make enough money to change their lives forever. However they know absolutely fuck all about smuggling – in fact they know absolutely fuck all about anything.
What starts off as ill-conceived plans ends up as a desperate flight for survival as every turn they take brings them closer to corrupt Portuguese police, rival criminal gangs and the smugglers, all of whom want to get their hands on the stash.
They say don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but you should always check it for explosives.

SARA’S DREAM

Rich — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 01:00:10 +0000

A remarkable true story set during the Seige of Sarajevo in the early 90’s. After nearly 2 years of war, there is still no way out of the city. People need a better reason to carry on living than just survival. The first house parties that erupt under curfew in late ’93 quickly evolve into the first wartime clubs, where limited supplies of power, alcohol and drugs can’t stop the daylong parties.
Lutvo and his childhood sweetheart, Sara, are at the forefront of the counterculture as Lutvo’s first band, ‘Lezi Majmunes’, quickly becomes one of the most popular and revered wartime bands. The music becomes as important in expressing a city’s lost voice as it is in saving a peoples’ sanity. But as Lezi Majmune are offered the promise of escape to play a gig in Europe, thanks to the scene in Sarajevo receiving international recognition, the realities of war are never far away and tragedy strikes Lutvo and Sara’s lives.
