Half Life
(50m)
Director: Mark Brindle
Producers: Mark Brindle
During 2004, 2005 and 2006, Mark Brindle has been filming the story of Tim, Matt and Dave, three 40-something buddies, partly around their homes in Devon and Cornwall but mostly in the cold and windy surf spots of far North Scotland. With a mix of archive footage from 1993, 1994 and 1998 and new surfing footage and interviews, the story of their surf trips to Scotland is told - the surfing, the injuries, the locations and the fun!

Writers: Paul Tanter & Paula Baker
Cast: Simon Phillips, Eric Cantona, Mike Reid & Rula Lenska
The film opens with Jack tied to a chair in a warehouse, guarded by heavies. He seems to have evoked the wrath of the Guv'nor, who lectures him about 'losing respect'. A girl called Natalie is present, and is clearly not in the Guvnor's good books. As one of the heavies removes Jacks gag, the Guvnor points a gun at his head. The scene fades to black, followed by two gunshots.

A gunshot tears to shred the outward appearance of a modest family: father, mother and son connected by love, faith, hate, anger and resentment. Who shot who and why?
