Kisses in the Dark
Against the bright lights of Blackpool, a supernatural killer is at work and a dark and dangerous love affair begins…
A sinister, disturbingly romantic seven part podcast audio drama written by Marty Ross and starring Con O’Neill (Our Flag Means Death, Chernobyl, The Batman) and Rhiannon Clements (Hollyoaks).
A contemporary Gothic horror tale set against a background of life on the narrow edge between Pleasure Beach and wild cold sea, between secret desire and a deadly evil.

Been getting loads of lovely comments about the performances in Gone Fishing Short Film, which is fantastic.. But it`s great to see Festivals like @folkestonefilmfest making a point to highlight the cinematography and sound design.. So lucky to have @jennisuitiala_dop as our DOP and @ellisaudio on sound.. Did a brilliant job on The Visit Short Film and again on Gone Fishing Short Film, always above and beyond.. without them both films just wouldn`t be the same and definitely wouldn`t have the same impact.. Thank You x
