Empress Clawscream (in production)
Set in the early 1990s, ‘Empress ClawScream’ centres around Róisín, a talented but ostracised Irish teenager living with her single mother in a Northern England county. Róisín is desperate to leave her dismal small town for the bright lights - and art school dreams - of London.
However, when charismatic riot grrrl Jessie starts at her school and befriends Róisín, it triggers a sexual awakening that manifests in the arrival of a flesh and blood version of her childhood hero – the anarchic villainess Empress ClawScream, from the cult 1980s cartoon series ‘Princess StarShimmer and the Joy Crusaders’ - forcing Róisín to let go of her childhood and embrace her future.
The brainchild of Director Stephen T Lally, ‘Empress ClawScream’ is a subversive twist on an LGBT+ coming of age story. As an anarchic homage to 1980s toy crazes and TV series, we are mounting a very British, tongue in cheek love letter to shows like ‘He-Man’, ‘Thundercats’ and ‘She-Ra’, along with the home-made enthusiasm of fandoms and science fiction conventions.
Tethered (in production)
‘TETHERED is a heart-rending dark fantasy film that visualises strands of folklore, family, and friendship by interweaving live-action, animation and modern dance. It’s an ode to mythology and the very art of storytelling, as well as an homage to 1980s fantasy cinema - but with a feminist twist.
The script for ‘TETHERED’ - written by Stephen T Lally, Alessia Galatini and Diane Taylor-Karrer - was a finalist in 2018's Film In Cork scheme, and initial production costs were raised through a highly successful crowdfunding campaign on Seed & Spark that ended in December 2018.
‘TETHERED’ is currently in production; the first phase of filming and animation was undertaken in London at the end of 2019, and the second phase will continue in 2021.
