Show Pieces is a British short film series written by Alan Moore and directed by Mitch Jenkins.[1] The series follows a man, Jimmy, who finds himself in a gentlemen's club after his death.
Five installments have been released, the last installment was financed via Kickstarter.[2]
1. Act of Faith: Faith Harrington, a young female reporter on a local newspaper who has an exotic private life, prepares for a stimulating evening at home that does not go according to plan.
2. Upon Reflection: Details Faith Harrington's first bewildered arrival at the peculiar working men's club immediately after the event that concludes Act of Faith, all captured in a fixed security mirror above a club's oddly anachronistic lounge bar.
3. Jimmy's End: Louche and hard-drinking womaniser James Mitchum finds himself wandering into one strange bar too many.
4. A Professional Relationship: Explores the peculiar relationship between the club's two managers.
5. His Heavy Heart: Picks up the narrative of the hapless James Mitchum from a point following his dreadful realization at the conclusion of Jimmy's End. In a grotesque parody of Egyptian funerary rites, James is shepherded less than gently into his unenviable afterlife.
In July 2014, Moore completed the screenplay for a feature film titled The Show, which will continue the story of Show Pieces.[3]
The first, third, and fifth installments have been collected into a feature film, Show Pieces, which airs exclusively on Shudder.
