Meet the presenter!
The presenter character is played by actress Dani Thompson. Dani was one of the founding members of Sweet Nightmares, and inspiration for the character Albion Winter. Back before a global pandemic changed everything we had planned to make short horror films starring Dani, including an Albion film written by Troy and John.
In addition to wanting to make short films, we had planned on doing a YouTube series with Dani interviewing various people from the world of independent film. That never happened, because aside from COVID making life much harder for everyone and all of us having to find ways to make a steady income, Dani started to turn her attentions more and more to other, more lucrative projects - and who can blame her? It’s her career, after-all!
Anyway, this is the intro piece that we used on a handful of podcasts we made during the first Lockdown, which inspired the eye-exploding art piece above:
The picture was created by our friend, the very talented Justin Hayward. Justin does not have an online store on Etsy or Big Cartel but you can find him on Instagram: @justinhayardarts
The concept was all Justin’s idea. Dani, in the presenter pose, surrounded by a host of horror icons. We love the image so much we wanted to share it here and it struck me that we could play a game.
