Feb. 13,2015

Established Norwegian band 'Monozygotic' is launching a new album 'Funny Valentines' in the UK. This promo features extracts from their music videos and interviews with the band members.

Feb. 13,2015
Lady and the Fly

Modern Toss presents The Lady And The Fly: an emotionally charged and lavish six-minute animation with the epic sweep of a classic romantic melodrama. In this groundbreaking tale of inter-species heartbreak, a lovestruck fly falls for the woman of his dreams, only to find himself bound in a web of his own deluded nightmare. Voiced by Mackenzie Crook and Paul Kaye, this Valentine's Day treat will lift you up where you belong, on the wings of a soaring fly.

Feb. 13,2015
A Wee Video! For The Lassies!

Brian Limond, AKA Limmy, creates a brand-new character in A Wee Video For The Lassies. Limmy plays a nervous romantic filming his clip for a dating website. He's single, looking for love and eager to open up and tell you a bit about himself. He's got a twinkle in his eye, a good sense of humour and a grisly, violent backstory.

EP4  Elephant
Feb. 13,2015
Elephant

Isn't it great having someone you can talk to about everything? Well, maybe not everything. Maybe not the fact that you're head-over-heels in love with each other. Written by and starring Nick Helm and Esther Smith, Elephant sees two best friends wile away a skint afternoon together walking around the backstreets of Brighton, trying to avoid what's staring them both in the face. Why would they let the fact that they've fallen in love get in the way of them talking nonsense to each other? And what's so wrong with settling for second best if it avoids an awkward conversation?

EP3  Wild Love
Feb. 13,2015
Wild Love

Wild Love is the Sequel to Matt Berry’s maverick wildlife 'documentary' Lone Wolf. Matt Berry voices spectacular wildlife photography and explores some of the world’s most exotic and extraordinary beasts and the courtships and mating rituals they endure, in their pursuit of sex.

EP2  Love Song
Feb. 13,2015
Love Song

Bill Bailey re-imagines one of his most popular songs in this spoof music video, poking fun at the earnestness of romantic rock.

She opens his eyes to a whole new world and for a brief moment, he is in paradise.

Feb. 13,2015
Last Chance

In Last Chance by Roy Clarke, Russ Abbot plays Morris Roebuck, a man whose wife has left him and he's had enough. He's recording his ex-wife one final message as a goodbye while he ruminates on their life, God and Isobel from over the road who has been a 'big comfort' to him.
