The Stolen Television Series is 8 x 60 min series, and a prequel spin-off to the Cork Films Feature Film The Stolen.

In the chaos of creating a nation, good people do bad things in order to survive….The Stolen television series is a modernist, rollicking, rich, vivid take on the 1800s colonisation by a global, ethnically diverse community.

The Moussaka Sister Mysteries is an ongoing 45 min per episode series in the Cosy Crime genre.

The Moussaka Sister Mysteries is about a woman from a farming background who leaves New Zealand for the first time in her middle age and comes to Greece to find her roots, only to be unexpectedly thrown into a world of solving crime. ‘Crocodile Dundette’ has been dropped into an episode of ‘Prime Suspect’. There is a ‘bush’ wisdom and wit to Shirley, alongside a little bit of ‘Being There’ with Peter Sellers in that a straight-forward, naive outsider can be the smartest person in the room.Shirley’s relationship with her newly discovered, Greek, half-sister, Helen, is also central to the story and the initial tension spilling over to an eventual begrudging affection on Helen’s behalf. Helen’s job as a Detective gives Shirley access to excitement she’s not found on the farm and it seems she has a knack and bravery for helping solve crimes, again much to the initial incredulity of Helen.

Television series based on the best selling Young Adult trilogy of novels by Mandy Hager

The Blood of the Lamb is set on the fictional Pacific island of Onewēre, approximately three generations after an apocalyptic event. At the time of the solar flare, a large cruise ship “Star of the Sea” had just foundered at the entrance to Onewēre’s main lagoon. This cruise ship, and her accompanying crew, forms a temporary sanctuary for the island’s native inhabitants. Over the intervening years, the ship becomes the symbol of rescue and redemption – the ‘temple’ of a cargo cult, where the descendants of the original ship’s captain and officers manipulate Christian texts to implant themselves as ‘gods’. With greater resources and reserves than the islanders, this white elite – headed by megalomaniac Father Joshua – re-builds a society that, although ostensibly for the benefit of all, is predominantly designed to meet its own needs - especially one specialised ‘need’…the need for blood. Maryam, a chosen island girl, at first fully indoctrinated by the cult, decides to escape her fate and flee sending her on a journey across the ocean in discovery of a world she had been told no longer exsisted. In doing so, will she also discover the key to her people’s freedom?
