After 5 years of fifty shades of grey, the deflated wife decides to go spiritual but things take the worse turn when the husband mistakenly walks into the ‘happy ending’ massage room. Devastated Lizzie decides to call it an end on a reality court show ‘out of order’ Acclaimed Judge Hope, wants to help the couple cum together but secrets unravel and it turns out that one of them is yet to find out their real sexual orientation.
About the Film: The couple’s story unfolds on a highly-rated reality show ‘out of order’ a stage where women sought to fight what they are denied by the patriarchal society and not just divorce their cheating husbands but challenge inequality, and prejudice. Above all, star of the show, Judge Hope is the kind of woman we need to look up to, instead of the Kardashians.
The film is a parody of reality television court dramas showing melodramatic domestic cases. The film speaks to the cosmopolitan women in the mood of guilty pleasures and explicit drama. Although this is fiction the narrative is presented in a realistic fashion and the format is inspired by the American show ‘Divorce court’ but with a cast similar to what you'd expect in Love Island.

In Development
Title: Hunks in Trunks
Genre: Comedy
Storyline: Front of house manager of the finest male strippers in town, Graham Gibbons has to deal with a pair of lairy drunken lasses crashing into his office with very specific demands.
Hunks in Trunks is a cheeky look at a shady head office of a male strip club and the questionable people that run and frequent them. So, what will happen, when a rowdy mother daughter meet the morally bankrupt manager Graham Gibbons, a man guilty of all the 7 deadly sins... they get more than they bargained for!
Hunks In Trunks began as a misguided sketch in a car crash of an Edinburgh Fringe Festival. At the time, it's production couldn’t afford a legitimate venue but managed to secure a room above a Sports Bar opposite Edinburgh Waverley train station. The sketch was immensely successful at the Edinburgh Fringe generating huge amounts of hype and bringing laughter to hundreds each day. So we know there is an audience for this.
Title: It’s Not What It Looks Like
Genre: Comedy
Storyline: After a 'major' incident at the London Kings Cross Station misinformation leads to overreactions, mass panic, and a nation-wide manhunt for a non-existent terrorist explosion. Meanwhile a satirical acting self-tape posted on social media by an aspiring Muslim actress Asma Ali Hussain is being circulated and gets mistaken for the headline incident when the substantial performance catches the eyes of Met police before any casting directors.
'It's not what it looks like' takes us through the absurdities inside an anti-terror interview room and through the comedic nature of the characters we exaggerate the difference between mainstream followers of Islam who exist peacefully and extremists who have developed a distorted view of Islam. Whether it’s Asma at the Lake District bootcamp getting mistaken for terrorist training in Syria or contentious messages with her ex-boyfriend, all the circumstantial evidence leads the authorities to the wrong conclusions and reminds us that sometimes, the biggest threat is our own misunderstanding, ignorance and paranoia.
