Anniversary takes place during the twenty-fifth anniversary dinner of Russel and Georgia, a prosperous, cultured business couple, when their opulent home is invaded by Alison and Trish. Alison subdues the couple violently, simultaneously subjecting them to a vicious verbal dressing down. But Trish has other plans and a covert agenda. She leapfrogs over Alison’s criminal cruelty to take control. Through a journey of dark comedy, sexual exploitation and psychological violence, Russel and Georgia’s perfect life, perfect home and perfect love are destroyed.

A man finds that his life is falling apart after being in the studio audience of a vapid talk show.
A black comedy about pop culture and the individual.
After being part of the studio audience of a talk show called Up Late with Lawson Phineas finds that his life is falling apart….but he has no idea why. Then he encounters Evelyn Kalasky, a personal injury lawyer, and Dr Silk, a crusading psychiatrist with a few screws loose. They explain the terrible truth: that being in the audience has irretrievably damaged Phineas’s brain. He has Schoenberg’s Syndrome, meaning that when he is happy he cries and when he’s miserable he bursts out laughing. He decides to sue the Network for damages, but powerful forces align against him. Can one man take on television and win?
