Gomorrah
Gomorrah, directed by Matteo Garrone and based on the best seller 'Gomorrah Italys Other Mafia' by Roberto Saviano, tells a rather dark story. A story set against the backdrop of Naples where Camorra rules and people seem to live rather hopeless lives. 
Gomorrah Scene
Toni Servillo as a Camorra mobster gives us perhaps his best interpretation so far and Mr Garrone undoubtedly knows more than anyone else how to depict dark scenarios.
Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Soundtrack includes music is by Matthew Herbert.
Released: 10th October 2008

Waverider - The Race
"Research" by The Race is to be used in a new surfing documentary which will premiere at the Dublin Film Festival on Feb 22nd 2008.
Waverider
Film Synopsis
Following the success of his previous 2003 film Eye of the Storm, Irish director Joel Conroy has returns once again to the world of international surfing. His new film Wave Riders provides both a well researched insight into the foundation of the sport and an exhilarating rollercoaster ride with some of the sports greatest exponents.
At the core of the film is the journey of a cast of top Irish and Irish American surfers as they trace an unexpected Irish connection to surfing and strive to meet the latest challenge of big wave tow surfing in Ireland. The story brings us back to Ireland where top surfer Richard Fitzgerald from Bundoran and UK surf champion, Gabe Davies, extol the virtues of relatively unexplored Irish surf destinations. They link up with world champion Kelly Slater and Irish American superstar surfers such as pioneering soul surfer Kevin Naughton and the renowned Malloy brothers to ride some of the most exciting surf Ireland has to offer north and south of the Irish border. The story climaxes with their attempt to ride a big wave off the west coast of Ireland using the newly introduced technique of tow surfing.

Agent Crush
Theme Music by David Arnold.
Release year - 2008
A short time from now in a neighbourhood not far away…
The World has become a mash of high technology; and transportation, politics and industry have evolved. However much remains unchanged, like New York’s East Side, where the buildings are timeless. Another thing that still remains is crime, and like the technology, it’s got a little bizarre!
The World Security Network was founded on a premise to maintain the balance and fight crime everywhere, an amalgamation of all law enforcement on a planetary scale, comprising the best of the military, the police and other services.
To this end, a new type of secret agent has been, quite literally, created. Ultra technology and artificial intelligence are commonplace, and Agent Crush is the ultimate evolution of both, but in humanoid form. Just one problem, a few things are not working quite right.
Crush is accident prone: everything he touches goes to pieces, every situation he enters becomes a war zone. Against this is his creator’s faith that given time the problems will be solved, unfortunately the powers that be don’t share this optimistic outlook.
Things are made worse by the revelation that the original project prototype – Boris - is on the loose. Boris Goudphater’s brain was – quite literally – twisted. Now having escaped from a recycling masher halfway through cycles, he is as seriously demented physically as he is mentally.
Goudphater has a gargantuan plan for the World - where he sees a great future of peace for all, co-operation on an unprecedented scale, and a world of tranquility – but first he has to rid the planet of all the humans living there.
Armed with a number of high tech devices, and accompanied by his genius inventor Spanners and Spanners' daughter Cassie, they must stop Goudphater at all costs, and discover the secret behind his plans before it is too late.
The action is a race across the planet, from Earth orbit to the frozen wastes of Siberia, and the mean streets of The Bronx to the heart of an erupting volcano.
Will Crush save the day?
