GIRI   2008         

Writer/Executive Producer - Alan Fleet

 

 

In life we choose all things except the time of death; it is the one choice denied in a ‘civilised’ society, where the preservation of life takes precedence over an individual’s wishes.  Micah is slowly dying from a fatal illness and he has decided that he will not fade away; Micah has chosen the date of his death.  But he needs help.  In a society where the very act of assisting someone to take their own life is seen as a crime, will help be forthcoming?  Giri is an atmospheric piece with minimal dialogue, where two cultures, separated by 400 years and thousands of miles, come seamlessly together in present-day England.

 

 

A GOOD SLAP     2010         Writer/Producer - Alan Fleet

 

When Ted is attacked by a gang of youths on Remembrance Sunday his old comrades-in-arms decide enough is enough.  Led by Terry, one of the last to feel the sting of corporal punishment on the Isle of Man, retribution will be simple; six strokes of the birch, filmed and posted on YouTube, to act as a deterrent.

A trap is sprung, a youth caught and a kangaroo court sits; but these old soldiers never considered what price they would pay for their justice.
