FILM SLATE 2020 (in no particular order) 1: “COMPULSIVE” Feature: A neo film noire (in the vain of Hitchcock & Howard Hawks) Status: Ready to start prep COMPULSIVE is a family drama, a metaphor which illustrates the fragmentation of the nuclear family and family values. Even though it takes place in the middle of the 20th Century, it is a story of the present day – depicting how a materialistic world and political ideals are destroying the very core of our society. It’s a tale about the sentiment of loss, loneliness and, as a consequence of that, how we use and abuse each other, how we devour one another.

This is a core feature which will resonate with a large audience across the world. Mauritius itself is not only a gorgeous landscape that our series is set in, but it is very much an integral main character that allows us and the viewer to explore an unexplored world. We aim to keep loyal to the identity of Mauritius, from it's beautiful beaches, growing expat businesses and tourist attractions to the reality of lifestyles lived by people from all backgrounds; the socio- economic struggles, and the very traditional conservative world view. This series will present an honest look at a small paradise island with a rainbow society. It's a Soap in Paradise!
