Come With Your Shades On!!

Joe Gotham

A dark and darkly funny black comedy following the adventures of a disparate group of people in the Netherlands in the days following 9/11.


A faded rock star,Dr Kosmoss, his blind companion, Christian, and a Nigerian King called Lord Ahmed go to the Netherlands in the wake of 9/11 to rescue a girl kidnapped by a porn star, Barny, his unhinged manager, Irn Blu and a one hit wonder, a rapper called Makaveli.

Meanwhile, a drug dealer called GSUS and his three pals, Stonehenge, the Maestro and Obi Rob Kenobi have to come up with ten thousand Guilders in three days to pay back the local big cheese, a psycho called LSD, or they're all dead.

Since Dr Kosmoss lost his memory in the WTC attacks, all he has to go on is a note telling him to go to the Netherlands and find a man called Bran Van Haappen. Christian comes to Amsterdam to rescue a girl he likes, only trouble is, he's blind. Dr Kosmoss and Christian agree to help each other on their respective quests.

 

Memento Mori

Joe Gotham

A dark and twisted identity crisis emerges when an amnesiac awakes to find himself accused of war crimes.


An amnesiac awakes to find himself accused of war crimes during the Second World War. Of his two interrogators, one believes him to be guilty, the other is more doubtful. Dr Karen Lingard, an empiricist, is shocked when the man comes back to life after being frozen in the ice after half a century. Her colleague, Seth Craven is a jew and wants to prosecute the prisoner for what he believes were war crimes committed during the Third Reich. Craven also sees the prisoners' unique physiology as a potential weapon, and plans to harvest his body. Both doctors butt heads over their differing views of the man. We see this John Doe as all his aliases are stripped away like layers of an onion, until the only thing left is the truth.
