- California was teetering on the edge of doom. Animosity between Los Angeles and San Francisco had grown out of control. War was looming in the hearts of men and women from Petaluma to Pacoima. Then, in early May, General Juan Gomez de los Angeles led his Southern troops in an offensive against the Bay Area. Once the Battle of San Francisco began there was no turning back . . . In Smog and Thunder is a mockumentary about a California civil war set in a vaguely recent past. The Great War of the Californias was the ultimate calamity in a state strewn with calamities. Based on the paintings of Sandow Birk, this film explores the history and the stories behind California's tragic conflict. The paintings, propaganda posters, and etchings convey the intense hatred that had built up between the two great California cities, Los Angeles and San Francisco. When the powder keg ignited, the state was quickly consumed by this horrible war. In Smog and Thunder tells its story through the humble words of the soldiers and citizens who lived through it: infantry privates, civilian yuppies, traffic reporters, colonels, generals, and gardeners. Our crackpot historian, who smooths over war crimes with juicy gossip, leaves you feeling confused and inferior. This grand procession makes you laugh and breaks your heart, but still leaves room for lunch.

- MAVERICK THE STORY OF THE KING'S HEAD: THE FIRST PUB THEATRE IN MODERN ENGLAND SYNOPSIS Dan Crawford emigrated from Hackensack New Jersey to England in 1969. He walked into The King's Head, which hadn't been decorated since the 1930s and was very rundown and entirely deserted. But it had a back room (used for cock fighting in the 17th century and illegally for prize fighting in the 20th). A perfect space for a theatre. And so, with a small loan from his Mother, Edna, he applied to buy the lease. The brewery said "Well, nobody else wants it - may as well give it to you on a punt". Within a few months, the King's Head Theatre was born! It was 1970; The King's Head was the first pub theatre in England since pre-Shakespearean times. The first play - an absurdist comedy - didn't do very well. But the second: John Fowle's The Collector, was a hit! The King's Head went on to enjoy many successes - championing a richly eclectic programme of new writing, musicals and classic revivals, and launching the careers of dozens of household names. The constant stream of work that the King's Head produced provided essential fodder for the West End - with on average one show transferring every year. In 1984, Stephanie arrived with a little girl in her arms. Dan and Stephanie married, and Stephanie went on to work alongside Dan. Stephanie was a passionate advocate for the King's Head, rallying the theatrical community to its aid dozens of times when the wolf was at the door. Despite a legacy of incredible work In the early 90s, the King's Head's annual grant was taken away, despite a tremendous outpouring of support from the public and theatrical community. It was a tiny grant compared to those given to other off West End theatres, but it allowed us to be a full time producing house with an artistic vision. Without it - we were forced to become mostly a theatre for hire. It was an event that broke Dan's heart. After Dan's death in 2006, Stephanie battled on and managed to raise the funds to buy the building form the brewery, safeguarding the theatre's future in perpetuity before moving to be with her daughter in New Zealand, leaving behind a lifetime of passionate commitment, hard work - and the greatest love story of her life. This film chronicles the journey of those years, using new material and interviews from 2020 alongside excerpts from an earlier film: A Maverick In London (2006) Directed by Jason Figgis and Stephanie Sinclaire, Produced by Stephanie Sinclaire and Stash Kirkbride, Presented by Stash Kirkbride. Screened on Sky Arts and Channel Four, UK. Featuring Dan Crawford, Alan Rickman, Tom Stoppard, Joanna Lumley, Rupert Graves, Antony Sher, Steven Berkoff, Janie Dee and many more.
