The Gulati Tartan

 

British Comedy-Drama The Gulati Tartan is a tale of unlikely friendship and the search for home. Elvis impersonator Jonny Gulati becomes a carer in an old people’s home, hoping a ‘normal job’ will provide the stability his wayward daughter Ava needs. When the pair find themselves homeless the care home manager, Grace, reluctantly allows Ava and Jonny to live on site for a month. Jonny has the resident’s jiving to ‘Hound Dog’, while 8-year-old Ava forms both a band and a bond with 79-year-old ex-Royal Scots Dragoon Guard, Hamish McDonald, making them both feel like they belong. 

 

But with unpaid debts catching up with him and Ava hell-bent on finding out their family’s past, Jonny finds his ‘showbiz’ alter-ego hard to leave behind. Just as his friendship with Grace blooms into something more, he goes behind her back in a final attempt to make it big and solve his money worries. Against a majestic musical background of bagpipes and Elvis, The Gulati Tartan is a story fuelled by tears, laughter, and the discovery that we’re all branches from the same tree.

Mel’s Angels

 

60 something Mel Lee tries to reignite the spark she and her motorbike-mad husband Neil have lost through the years. As a surprise for their anniversary, she books motorbike riding lessons and meticulously plans a road trip around Ireland, where they first kissed 50 years ago. To Mel’s dismay, Neil has no interest in leaving their postcode and the real sting? He thinks she can’t learn to ride a bike 'at her age’.  She’s set to abandon the idea, until her four best friends’ step in; dodgy hips and bumpy roads aside, they leather up and set off for the ride of their lives, proving that it’s never too late to try new adventures and fall in love with being alive.

Candy Apple Red      

                                                   

Candy Apple Red is the ‘biopic’ of an electric guitar, a sixty-year journal from 1963 to 2023. Not just any old guitar; a Fender Telecaster in Candy Apple Red. The fire-starter of cultural revolutions, a six-string orchestra and as Keith Richards said - a weapon. We travel with it as she passes through the hands of seven different owners. All leaving their own distinctive stories in the wood and wire. From teenage bedrooms to sticky floor venues to iconic stages and every place in between.
