Loglines:

Together they battle a conspiracy that will lead them to the top of a country in chaos. Hybrids is X-Men meets Mr Robot for the tech-addicted.
Young Hood: (Feature/Pilot): Robin the Hood and his gang aged 12 are forced to fight for justice in a war-torn country seething with dangerous magic. With global family appeal it puts the popular legend on a whole new level.
Fifty Pink Elephants (Feature): Warring New York and London drug dealers and corrupt detectives confront the indomitable guile of remote Snowdonian villagers to retrieve 25 kilos of lost cocaine. In Bruges meets Whiskey Galore with a feminist twist.
Captain Britain (TV series): Britain needs its own Marvel superhero series. This reboot with the wit, pace and style of Doctor Who, Sherlock and Marvel’s Avengers, explores what it means to be a superhero in post-Brexit multicultural Britain.
