 MODERN
ENGLISH
An updated remake of the
classic, 1938 American screwball romantic comedy MERRILY WE
LIVE directed by Norman Z. McLeod, that received five Academy
Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Billie
Burke.
In this clever remake, a morally and emotionally bankrupt gossip
columnist, Wade Rawlins, is sent on a vacation to the countryside
by his editor. Life, however, has other plans for him, and through
a series of hilarious mishaps, he winds up on the doorstep of
the famously reclusive Lord and Lady Kilburn. Mistaking him
for a charity case, the eccentric family takes him in. Seeing
the possibility for an exclusive, Wade stays on and finds himself
falling head over heels in love with the Kilburn’s fiery
eldest daughter, Gerry, and thus faced with a major dilemma
-- to write or not to write.

GOOD CHILDREN

with the Captain of their expedition. It is a tragic tale of
love, betrayal, survival and innocence lost.

ONE LUCKY ELEPHANT
1 x 90 minute Feature Documentary
 Eight
years in the making, ONE LUCKY ELEPHANT follows the journey
of circus producer David Balding as he tries to find a nurturing
and permanent home for Flora, the 18-year-old African elephant
that he rescued as an infant, raised as his “daughter” and
made the star of his circus. David’s love for Flora is
put to the ultimate test when he realizes he made a terrible
mistake keeping Flora as a solo elephant, and decides to retire
her from the circus after 17 years of performing. Knowing Flora
will outlive him, and with his health and finances becoming
an issue, David sets off on a quest to find a home for Flora
can live freely with other elephants.
This complicated
and emotional task begins with Flora’s
final circus performance in St. Louis and takes us on an emotional
trek across America, then to Africa and back.
We follow
David's journey as he discovers just how difficult it is to
find a
proper home for an elephant in a world that reveres these animals
for
their majesty yet slaughters them for their ivory and meat,
adores them as cuddly Dumbos yet brands them “rampaging
creatures”.
ONE LUCKY ELEPHANT raises critical issues about the future
of elephants in captivity and the precarious situation facing
their
counterparts in the wild, and how these issues have impacted
the life of one very lucky elephant.
