BETTY MAY

1922 London. After a whirlwind romance, Betty May, model and muse to the bohemian elite, marries Raoul Loveday, a brooding poet just down from Oxford. But this passionate and tempestuous relationship is soon threatened by a far greater force. When Raoul falls under the influence of the occultist, Aleister Crowley, Betty is forced into a battle of wills for her husband’s soul. Their doomed love affair is brought to an abrupt end by Raoul’s untimely death under tragic circumstances, and Betty’s hollow victory in bringing Crowley down. Screenplay by Ian Sugar, based on Betty May’s controversial autobiography.

CENOTAPH CORNER

In the final, uneasy week of peace before the outbreak of the Second World War, a young Sheffield factory worker with a passion for climbing sets off for Snowdonia to make his mark on the mountain. Just when it seems that Jack has the world at his feet – and the girl of his dreams - his hopes are dashed, only hours before his world is swept away by war. The wild landscape of Welsh mountains forms the backdrop for this redemptive tale, as Jack Harding struggles to escape his rigid background and the fearful expectations of the inevitable slaughter ahead. Original screenplay by Andrew Sillett.

SAN CRISTÓBAL

In the grip of a scorching Spanish summer, a small mountain village called San Cristóbal is on the brink of distinction. The only functioning young man discovers that to save his home, his livelihood and win the girl of his dreams, he will have to place his faith in a rag-tag group of homeless people. James Rogan directs this romantic comedy from his original Spanish language screenplay. San Cristóbal is a co-production with Aria Films.

THE CONVOY

In the midst of the UK’s worst recession since the Second World War, a motley crew of unemployed lorry drivers from Kirkby, Lancashire are lured by the offer of lucrative work on the UN aid convoys in Bosnia. Based on the first-hand experiences of war reporter Andrew Sillett in Bosnia in 1992- 1993, The Convoy is a timely reminder and examination of the West’s troubled attitude to international aid and peace-keeping. James Rogan directs this suspense thriller from Andrew Sillett’s original screenplay.

THE LIVES AND LOVES OF ROSALINDA SPRINT

A life-affirming black comedy set in the dangerous slums of Naples in the 1970s. Rosalinda Sprint, an irresistible transvestite and a true force of nature, has fallen in love with Jack, a dashing British NATO captain, who has been transferred back to England. As Rosalinda prepares to leave her life - and Naples - behind to join him, she has to battle through the memories of long-lost lovers, dreams of a future with Jack, and the unexpected appearance of a new love interest. Confused, Rosalinda has to make the most difficult decision of her life as she takes us on a journey of self- discovery. Who is she going to pick? And are they man enough for a boy who is all woman?
