In addition to details about our films our site also contains original content in the Gallery section. So take a look around! Hopefully you'll like what you see, and keep checking back on the site to catch the latest updates, which should include new artwork, new stories (we're hoping to launch a Story section over the next couple of months, so if you're a writer of comics, short stories or poems, get in touch here ) and of course all the latest details on the progress of our film productions. Feel free to comment on what you've seen by dropping us an email , or by contributing to our forum.
