A Day at the Races meets The Sting

In a scam gone horribly wrong Jake and his girlfriend Nina kill Jimmy, their dealer - shot in the head with his own gun. After dumping his body in a nearby cemetery they realize his car  - a powder blue MG sports convertible - is still outside their house; but when they return to get the keys Jimmy's body is gone: stolen by a couple of teenagers who intend using the corpse for a prank on their school principle.

In an effort to get the spare key for the MG Jake and Nina accidentally kidnap Jimmy's girlfriend - Simone. Meanwhile the police have been chasing Jimmy's MG convertible for a ream of speeding tickets; his dad, Vince, just happens to be the biggest crime boss in the city, and is now actively looking for his missing son; and everybody is out to get Jimmy's Blackberry phone for some reason.

Jake is normally a pretty laid back sort of guy - live and let live; but as the night wears on Jake begins to realize how much of a psychopath Nina really is, and frankly just surviving the next 24 hours is going to take a miracle.

And this is before Jake even meets Simone's Dad - a hitman in the employ of Vince, or Jimmy's mother - a loan shark and ex-IRA, who loaned Jimmy twenty-thousand dollars and wants it back. Before this day is over - someone's going to end up with a bullet in their head.

A gun toting, fist fighting, skateboarding action flick, shot in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Qld, Australia.

George Bush is having some buddies over for a game if poker. When Bush, Stalin, Bin Laden, and Hitler can't agree on what kind of pizza to order; Hitler is forced to defend the welfare of what is dearest to his heart. Animals.

This is a low-budget film that could be very low budget if constrained to one interior location, though the current treatment (and soon, script) describes a multi-location story. Screen NSW like the concept but will consider it for funding only with a producer attached. So I'm looking for a producer - perhaps someone looking to make their first feature after successes with short films.

Three miners trapped underground have captivated audiences around the world. Their devout wives have now become celebrities.

A young lady turns up to the site uninvited. The wives want her gone but she has a story to tell – she is having an affair with one of the miners and she wants her share of the fame. One-by-one the mistresses turn up to the site as the whole world watches the cat fight unfold.

The miners are trapped in more ways than one. 

"I like to get into bed, with my dressing gown and slippers on, and turn all the lights off and put some nice easy listening tracks on and open a packet of chocolate biscuits. That is when I feel the safest of all. It's a funny thing being one of the survivors of a bungled armed robbery. You’re one of the lucky ones because it wasn’t you shot in the bloody head by ... and that thing they did to that poor old lady was just sickening. But I suppose I’d feel better if they were all dead. The robbers..."

The Pyjama Monologues is a short film produced by the team of Unreasonable Films (Jason Sweeney - Director/Composer) & Fiona Sprott - (Writer). The film will be a series of perversely funny, haunting and provocative vignettes that draw upon Fiona’s darkly comic stories about isolated characters who confess their strange little bedroom secrets. It will follow absurd scenes of off-kilter characters who find themselves in public places in their pyjamas, vulnerable and lost; characters who are trapped by their obsessions of bedroom life, bedroom fantasies...

"I mean most people like to hide their mental illness but I embraced mine. Nobody trusts a woman in her forties wearing Tweety Bird pyjamas for four years in a row and so nobody expects anything from me any more."
