SOMETHING BEYOND- Our New Project

 Something Beyond

 My film-maker buddy Darren Douglas has done it again.

 

Fresh on the success of "The CoRaven", Darren decided he wanted to animate one of my short stories, "Hilltop Meeting".

But that wasn't all... he decided to start a project of making a series of films in the vein of those old TV classics like "The Twilight Zone", "The Outer Limits" and "Night Gallery".

Of course, to do that, we needed our own presenter, like our own Rod Serling. Cue "Young Vincent":

 

Now check out the finished result

 

My dissertation is published

 

Life gets a bit more animated

 During the lockdown summer, I began playing around with parodies of Poe-try, yep, Edgar Allan Poe.

The first thing that struck me was people going on about "Corvid 19", instead of "Covid". Well, that got me pondering the word "Corvid". Turns out it has links to the Scots word "Corbie" (crow/raven) and the name of the once Labour leader of UK, Jeremy Corbyn (but he had nothing to crow about in the end).

Of course, it all eventually came down to Poe. I ended up knocking up a short parody called "The CoRaven". I threw it about Facebook and had all but forgotten about it, when my friend Darren Douglas declared he was making it into an animated film (Darren's a film maker).

Of course, I recorded the poem and the next thing, Darren has made the most amazing short film and entered it into a film festival in San Diego.

Then the film gets a rather nice review from a chap at Over the Moon Pictures 

 

So, in a flash, I am now a script writer, voice-over artist, listed on IMDB AND part of an award winning team!

To top it all, Darren has got the bug again and is hard at work doing a second of my works... Watch this space!
