For No Good Reason a film about Ralph Steadman. Johnny Depp guides the visually stunning journey, smashing narrative conventions, moving seamlessly from interview to animation and in the finest Gonzo tradition questions of witness and authenticity are challenged. Steadman's art is for the first time animated, including illustrations from Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas. Featuring Richard E Grant, Terry Gilliam, Bruce Robinson and with music from Slash, The All American Rejects, Jason Mraz, Crystal Castles, Ed Hardcourt and Beth Orton. A touching and at times funny film about honesty, friendship and the ambition driving an artist. This is a true record of the demise of the 20th Century counterculture and hipster dream with Ralph Steadman the last of the Gonzo visionaries.

Phone Line poster
NR

Public Information Film with Traditional Animation for the charity 'Samaritans'. A phone audibly rings while abstract, white line animations are shown on a black background. Various people are heard talking, saying distressing things to a man. These sounds grow more intense, until they stop, with the sound of the man picking up the phone and screaming replacing it. The animations at this point now depict a telephone with teeth letting out the scream. Infamous for being Rated 'U' for cinema showing by the BBFC due to the surreal animation and loud distressing audio.
