Dandy Zombies and Rockabilly Werewolves battle through dance in the Glasgow necropolis!

Fuckface and the Cowboys from Space

Burnout Films, Glasgow, 2006
Years in the making, FF&TCFS is an epoch-spanning, laser-blasting technicolour whirl of a sci-fi western. Fuckface of the planet Fagon, a noble but idiotic Disco Robot, attempts to save his people from the oppressive rule of the Space Cowboys. Contains lots of nudity and violence, but no swearing, sorry.

PLUS the premiere of

Cock in the City

Burnout Films, 2009 !!
