of Versailles?

Dog Days
Book and Lyrics by John Timperley
In the magical world of Windsor Forest an outlaw dog releases a group of strays from a nearby dogs home, so they can be induced into the magic of Dog Days, the period when Canius Major is in an eclipse with the moon. For a month the strays can converse with humans about returning to society, but emotions become involved and identities confused. The arrival of an old soldier brings a sense of controlled freedom and discipline into the lives of the dogs, and the humans, and life moves hopefully forward.
A full length musical stage play, in two acts, currently being set to music.
Lock Out
During a global financial crisis, four friends find different ways to cope with disaster.

and for ever.
A full length feature film.
