Club Le Monde synopsis
Club Le Monde is a 32 character ensemble comedy about a typical night in a dank, dark, sweaty club in 1993 where sex, drugs and music all help the crowd to come alive.
As an increasingly drunken Ali makes her way around the club exacting revenge on her unfaithful boyfriend by snogging as many guys as she can, we meet a kaleidoscope of colourful characters.
Yas and Kelly spend the whole night in the toilets gossiping about contract killers, kissing cousins and constipation, teenagers Anthony and Patrick try to score drugs and be a hit with the babes, Mosh the tough-nut bouncer struggles with his sexual identity and desire to become a lawyer whilst Mr Sunglasses tries desperately to make friends with anyone who'll stand around long enough to listen to him.
Club Le Monde features some of the best up-and-coming young actors in Britain and an amazing soundtrack full of 90s club classics such as The Shamen's 'Move Any Mountain,' 808 State's 'Pacific 202' Bizarre Inc's 'Playing With Knives' and Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lies'.

Feature films >>
An ambitious chap and a bit of an ageist, Rumley always wanted to direct his first feature before his 30th year. By the mid 90s he was writing feature scripts with this avowed intention in mind and was excited to have his 3rd script, Club Le Monde, optioned.
After the initial effort at production fell by the wayside, Rumley realised that the British film industry would not be banging at his door to help him achieve his goal and thus inspired by American Indie directors of the time, Linklater, Rodriguez, Smith et al, he decided to follow suit and shoot his own feature with his own money.
For a long time this project was titled 'Thon but no-one really understood what this meant so Rumley changed it to Strong Language and the rest is history...
