Writer and Director Steven Sheil who is based at Broadway Cinema will be Directing Despair of the Slayer written by the Claremont group. Steven is currently looking through the script and making initial Director’s notes which he will feed back to the group. Meanwhile the group is beginning to learn Directing and filmmaking skills so that they can be fully involved in the process of making their film with Steven as a mentor. Filming is due to take place in May and June.

A new script has been added to the showcase section. It is called Despair of the Slayer and has been produced by Doha Bassiouni, Connor McCourt Hanrahan, Mason Hollis, Ruby Jackson, Zara Kayani, Kelly Williams and Lucas Young  who are all from Claremont Primary School. They have been working with Jamie Rhodes on an adaptation from Alan Gibbons’ book – they have taken characters from The Blood Market and imagined a future scenario and have also interwoven elements of plot detail from other stories from Dark Spaces.

We are now moving into the film production stage – we will keep you updated of progress!
