• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

It's a Western but not as you know it. Highly individual, unusual, violent, shockingly so...there's even cannibalism.... yet it somehow manages to be funny. Beautifully shot in black and white, it's as quirky and poetic as the hero's namesake, William Blake.
Fantastic score from Neil Young.
