The ISLAND APES dark comedy plot revolves around the lives of six main characters that all follow a different English premiership football team. Tottenham, Manchester Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham & Arsenal. The threads that entwine the six miss-matched thirty-somethings together are the St George Cross flag of England FC & the group stages lead up to the EURO 2004 finals in Portugal. A murder, a life threatening beating & a suicide, three of The Island Apes don’t make it all the way to the end for the final group decider against the Turks… A game the English have been banned from attending! A 1980’s subplot runs through the film regarding a sister of one of the six receiving a horrendous kicking by a ruthless skinhead gang. A chance meeting in 2003 allows old scores to get settled and a grim reaper to erm.. reap satisfaction. To be filmed on location in Greek Islands, Essex, London, Middlesbrough, Manchester, Amsterdam & Turkey.
