TENDER & MILD Fantasy ⋄ Comedy What would you get if Terry Gilliam directed a Seth Rogan Coming-of-age/Fantasy? // New Orleans, Christmas, 1925: While masturbating for the first time, and at the exact point of climax, a fledgling idea-man for a toy company falls into a magical consciousness full of toy-ideas. But when the magic is stolen by a poverty-stricken femme fatale, he must get it back in time to save his job, all the while bringing to light his true identity-- the one true son of Santa Claus.
SHOUT! Fantasy ⋄ Comedy On the verge of a mental breakdown, an obsessed Tears for Fears fan develops a physical anomaly that prevents him from shouting in anger. But when he visits a psychiatrist who specialises in helping people shout, he soon learns that the only thing that can cure him will require the ultimate sacrifice.
