“Old Ground” is our brand new #shortstory #flashfiction audio piece for #Halloween2023 about a mysterious meeting on an empty road.

It was written by our good friend Gareth Brownbill and all the voices were performed by the brilliant Idiom (Nick Anderson). You can find our more about Idiom on their castingclub profile: https://www.castingcall.club/idiom

I really like the original #graphicnovel artwork I’ve created for the video visuals and the tone/style I’ve directed the work with. I got a #CliveBarker #Hellraiser feel when I first read this story from Gareth and I’ve used this initial feeling in the final work.

As ever, do leave a comment with you own thoughts. I love the way we can all have our own ideas about a story and what it means; and no differing interpretation is ever wrong.
