- ERIC RAVILIOUS - DRAWN TO WAR is the first major feature film about Eric Ravilious (1903-1942), the much loved but hugely underestimated British Official War Artist artist, killed in a plane crash over Iceland in 1942. Featuring contributions from artists Ai Weiwei and Grayson Perry, writers Alan Bennett and Robert Macfarlane, the film recounts a life as compelling and enigmatic as his art, set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspired him. The story is told in Ravilious's own words through a wealth of material drawn from a treasure trove of private correspondence and previously unseen archive. The film features the voices of Freddie Fox, Tamsin Greig, Jeremy Irons and Harriet Walter. The film is produced by Margy Kinmonth for Foxtrot Films. Director Margy Kinmonth, a BAFTA and RTS Award winner and known for such work as Naked Hollywood, Royal Paintbox and Revolution: New Art for a New World, says: "As a filmmaker and artist myself, I am telling the story of an artist whose life was cut short by conflict. Ravilious was a brilliant painter whose art portrays a very British way of life, creating his unique point of view at a time of historic change. The film asks what his life and art tells us about the elusive concept of Englishness, and what it means to be a war artist."

- On the surface, Chris Nduka is the picture-perfect man: charming, attractive and a very successful businessman. Women are enamoured and intrigued by him. However with his obsessive desires and preference for sex over love, committing to just one woman is as remote to him as taking a sabbatical to Tibet to be the Dalai Lama's understudy. In direct contrast, his newly wed brother Niko's enthusiastic show of love and romance, is at best nauseating and borderline uncomfortable to witness. He gushes over his wife April, in a fashion that suggests he is the first man on earth to experience such euphoria. But behind each brother's expression of love and affection, lies their troubled and dark childhood, that has rendered one brother obsessively in love with the idea of love, and the other incapable of showing love or forming a healthy relationship. Using London's buzzing streets as a backdrop, we witness the hazardous journey of self-discovery in the quest to find true love, through the lives of the show's central characters: The ambitious and confident Chloe, in a long-term relationship with successful video producer Anthony, struggles with recently developed feelings for another man which are both alarming and worrying, as they raise questions about her future with Anthony. Frankie, the overly confident, witty ladies' man and Chris' best friend, wears the exterior of a sexist egotistical male, who is happy to brag about female conquests. Beneath, however, he hides a deeper secret of insecurity and desperation for acceptance, that threatens not only to offer him a lifetime of misery but could be to the detriment of his friendship with Chris. Finally, we have the mysterious Charlotte, a widow who is still deeply grieving over the death of her husband, 2 years ago. She is struggling to find someone to live up to the impossible image her grief has created of her lost love, whilst in the meantime relying on less than perfect means to cope with each day. The Method of Love is a clever critique of the human condition, allowing us to navigate through the characters' innermost fears, passions and revelations, as each element of their lives continually forces them to question the very essence of love.
