'In this black comedy, Kostas, the owner of a Melbourne Greek restaurant, has employed Jamila, a single mother going through a bitter custody battle, as a belly dancer to entertain customers. When her ex-husband Arman and his new girlfriend Rebecca show up for dinner, she refuses to dance, prompting quirky waitress Sally to take her place.  During Sally’s performance all hell breaks loose. Rebecca is abducted and Kostas learns that his son left the scene of an accident, fearing he’d killed the other driver and would fail a drug test. By the time the police arrive, there’s forgiveness in the air. But will this evening have a happy ending?'

'When Tom White goes missing, many lives are affected. A family man with two young kids, the pressures of life and his work as a draughtsman have pushed him to the edge. One day he simply doesn't go home. Without word or reason to his wife or friends he takes to the streets - a homeless man in his own city - befriending in turn, different people on the fringes of society.'

1 1 form y separately published work icon Silent Partner Daniel Keene , ( dir. Alkinos Tsilimidos ) Australia : Rescued Films , 2001 Z1853110 2001 single work film/TV 'Bill (Syd Brisbane) and John (David Field) don't have much going for them, a crumpled couple of friends on the slow side of up. They like their dog races and when the infamous Alex Silver offers them a chance to not only race a greyhound for him, but actually own it on paper, the men jump at it - albeit with some reservations from Bill. The dog, named Silent Partner, offers them a chance to do something in their lives, and when it comes a close second at a bush track, Bill and John sense they are onto something here. But the next race, in the big smoke at Wentworth park, doesn't go so well, and the instructions from Silver are severe: dope the dog.' (Source: Urban Cinefile website)
1 3 form y separately published work icon Everynight Everynight Ray Mooney , Alkinos Tsilimidos , ( dir. Alkinos Tsilimidos ) South Melbourne : Rescued Films , 1994 Z898070 1994 single work film/TV Documenting life inside Pentridge Prison's notorious H Division, Everynight Everynight is an indictment of systems: systems open to abuse and corruption, systems where police behave like criminals and get away with it, systems that alienate people and deprive them of their dignity, so that violence becomes a power-seeking device from men who have never known influence or affluence. The despair and violence escalates as remand prisoner Dale is 'broken' by a group of prison officers led by the sadistic Berriman.
