Short Video Fiction

I often have people send me small bits of flash fiction, short stories and poetry. So I’ve decided to create a new project in which I occasionally take the most interesting work that I’m sent, and bring my own interpretations to these pieces

Each production will be around 1-2 minutes in length and will feature a different voice performer each time. The audio will be mixed with a suitable musical track, and abstract video art will be created in which the spoken text will be overlaid over the visuals.

I purposely create the mood and the visuals based on what the piece means to me when I read it. I believe that when you adapt another persons idea, you create a unique amalgamation; something that couldn’t exist by itself.

If you’re interested in sending / submitting me some written work that you feel might be suitable for this style (or you’re interested in audio voicing pieces like this for me) drop me an email to studio@cornucopia-radio.co.uk

Old Ground

On a pitch black night. On a storm swept road a few miles out of town. Torrential rain which ha d soaked him to the skin in seconds. He had never been so grateful of a passing lift in his whole life. He opened the passenger car door and got in, and slowly the truth was revealed…

A Happy Saturday

In the hedgerow of the park . Where the children play. Away from parents’ watchful eyes. A happy Saturday. In the Hedgerow of the park. Where the children play In broken glass and syringes. A happy Saturday. In the hedgerow of the park Where the children play. They poke the eyeball of the corpse. A happy Saturday

The Muse
