Leave me alone.

Dr Michael O'Brien is a celebrated palaeoanthropologist, but his recently-published book has drawn ridicule from academics while being hailed by crazy conspiracy theorists. With his party-animal sister Alyssa, and her latest boyfriend Dante, he retreats to a rural outback where he obsessively pursues the unorthodox research that led his colleagues to shun him. Here, he makes a mind-blowing discovery that may rescue his career. Trapped in isolation, four flawed characters grapple with their awesome responsibilities and the delusional idea that we humans are the master species.

Invincible

Invincible · 2025

A character-driven comedy drama about neighbourliness and class divisions (or lack thereof); Invincible follows Emily and Oliver – a liberal, middle-class couple from the South of England – who move up North to live a cheaper life as the 2012 recession hits, and raise their children among what they term as “real people”. There, they invite their neighbours round for drinks where the evening turns to debates about war, art and football. A microcosm for the wider discussion on class politics and world views.
