Additional information
Although she is best known for her choreography work, Francesca Jaynes has also just written and directed two short films:
FOR GEORGE is a poignant and gently funny look at three generations of a family as they come together for the funeral of ballroom dancing champion, George.
Seven year old Bobbie is comforted by his own explanation of the great mystery of death - that in fact Great Uncle George has been rescued from the box by Jesus and taken back to Birmingham. A young nervous Priest begins the day preparing for his first ever funeral mass with the same nerves and expectation of an actor on an opening night. As the middle generation struggles to find it's way, grief and betrayal threaten to dissolve the glue that holds the family together.
Bobbie and the older generation though, know how to celebrate George's life, and with that wonderful affinity that exists between the very young and the elderly, they set about doing exactly what he would have wanted - dancing. This is a party that George would not have wanted to miss - and who knows - maybe he won't.

The second is GNOMELAND.
website: http://www.gnomelandthefilm.com/
All is not well in the idyllic world of Gnomeland - a unique tourist attraction run by a dark haired maiden and six industrious gnome workers. They take great pride in looking after the occasional visitor who comes to view their extensive gnome collection, but there is trouble in their midst! Londoners Dave and Rob happen upon Gnomeland shortly after Rob and his family have moved to this beautiful countryside in search of a better life. As the men gradually get drawn into the ways of Gnomeland, could these unlikely lads become inadvertent heroes, and give Gnomeland the fairytale ending it deserves
