Thanks FFF. High Rise is a great J G Ballard book. Not that I couldn't use it. However I was thinking - Urban Combat. But yeah, his war trauma, he doesn't want to fight but he has to overcome that…

It's actually a short film i made in 2009 that has done well for me despite it's shockingly low production values (to simulate a gun shot wound I put a wig on a balloon and popped it) and I have…
on When Jesus rises with a zombie army in tow, an atheist Mossad agent must take Jesus and his army out before it infects the rest of the earth. (For #Meetup)
