Out Of Court is a story of an ordinary man caught in a struggle between his ex girlfriend, the British family legal system and common sense. In the film, protagonist, Ritchie Goodman (played by Andy Pacino), is at the centre of a legal wrangle due to his ex girlfriend (Jill) withholding previously agreed contact of his son, after their relationship breaks up. Jill Malo’s goading of Ritchie is captured on his video diaries, and it is this that drives him to carry out the kidnap and subsequent “trial”, which is the vehicle that carries the film to it’s violent conclusion. Jill gets her support from three other people; Jill’s mum, , the welfare worker and Jill’s lawyer. When faced with overwhelming odds, Ritchie teams up with his brother, who films the whole process of Ritchie’s justice. This picture is disturbing in its realistic telling via video monologues and asides where the audience witnesses a man crushed by a system he sees as both wrong and completely unfair. Unable to sit idly and watch, Ritchie decides to try to speak to the people who stand in his way of seeing his son, and he decides to settle the matter Out Of Court.
“A brilliant first time effort. Andy should be very proud of what he’s achieved here.” Nigel Pivaro, actor and journalist.
“I can’t believe this film is this good. Why it hasn’t been picked up by a major I do not know. It’s the best micro-budget film of the last five years.” Neil Goodwin, National newspaper film critic.
“Out Of Court is poignant, relevant, plausible, and it’s a really, really good film. Well done, Andy.” Terry Christian, TV presenter and social commentator.
Directed and produced by No Ordinary Family, here we see a couple of out-takes from the first ever interview with artist, Olivia Pilling, while she works on a piece. The second instalment in the How Great Thine Art series, the film is shot over a number of days in Olivia’s studio in Todmorden, and at an exhibition of her work, where every piece was sold on the opening day. Olivia’s work has become extremely collectible and she regularly sells out her exhibitions, and auction prices are rocketing for her old work. As a modern investment, you can’t go far wrong with one of her pieces. A very limited number of copies of the full film are available.

Special Forces Heroes is a Channel 5 programme that follows the exploits of the world’s best soldiering outfit, the SAS. In this episode, the team speak to a number of people who were involved in the rescue mission of a group of Irish Rangers, who had been taken hostage by a rebel faction called the West Side Boys. Also on hand is No Ordinary Family’s very own Andy Pacino, who wrote the book, Sierra Leone: Deliver A Blow. In the programme, Andy gives expert testimonial on the ensuing battle, Operation Barras, between the elite UKSF and the WSB. One thing was for certain: the world’s best soldiers could not afford to lose this one.
