Waiting for Gorgo

2009, Short Comedy, 35mm

Deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Defence lies a secretive government department identified only as the "DMOA". Just what the DMOA does has been lost in the annals of time - all that is known is that it's the last line of defence protecting London from total destruction.

Determined to find out more about this strange department, Alexandra, a young ambitious defence analyst, sets off into the rabbit warrens of Whitehall to see the DMOA for herself. Finding two aged public servants in varying stages of senility, Alexandra is convinced that the DMOA is the result of an unfortunate mistake. However, as the conversation progresses it becomes apparent that the old guys may not be as senile as they seem, and more worryingly, they may indeed be London's last line of defence.

Written by respected sci-fi journalist MJ Simpson, "Waiting for Gorgo" is a short comedy with a fantastical twist. Set in present day London, the story pokes fun at the dusty image of Britain's public service and pays homage to the classic monster movies of the 1950s and 1960s.

Currently in post-production.
