01 Grounded Dystopian Drama

The Kradle

A dystopian television drama about biometric surveillance, water control, inherited trauma, and family sacrifice inside an authoritarian system.

At its core, the story is about a family sacrificing love, trust, and their own futures to keep one son invisible long enough to matter.

The Kradle | Series Overview Every breath accounted for.

The Square is not a shape. It is a regime.

In a city where water is rationed and every citizen is tracked by their breath, families survive beneath an authoritarian system that accounts for every registered life.

Raised inside the hidden Stills, Emrys is a Breathless, invisible to the system tracking every other citizen. But his survival was bought through decades of sacrifice, concealment, and emotional destruction by the family forced to keep him hidden.

As institutional pressure tightens and rebellion spreads beneath the surface of the city, the cost of remaining invisible becomes impossible to sustain.

02 Psychological Thriller · Horror

Rookmire

A psychological coastal thriller set within an isolated offshore fishing village where environmental collapse, fractured memory, and something psychologically destabilising spreading through the sea begins reshaping the community from within.

The series explores the terror of psychological erosion. The fear that exposure to something ancient and environmental can slowly reshape identity, memory, and human behaviour itself.

Rookmire Synopsis

Off the southern coast, the isolated fishing settlement of Rookmire survives through routine, superstition, and silence.

But when something begins spreading through the sea, altering behaviour, memory, perception, and emotional stability, the community starts turning inward under the pressure of fear, exposure, and psychological erosion.

As reality becomes increasingly unstable, the series explores the terror of losing trust not only in the world around you, but in your own thoughts, memories, and identity.

About

I write about systems that deform human relationships.

Not just political systems, but emotional ones. The invisible pressures that force people into impossible choices and slowly reshape who they become in order to survive.

My work explores the private human cost underneath institutional control: families built around concealment, survival becoming strategic, love expressed through sacrifice, silence, manipulation, guilt, and damage.

I am drawn to characters who endure pressure over long periods of time. People who survive through patience, invisibility, emotional endurance, and morally devastating compromise rather than heroism.

Across grounded dystopian drama and psychological horror, I am interested in how systems enter the home, the body, and the family itself. How surveillance reshapes trust, scarcity reshapes morality, and fear reshapes intimacy.

The worlds may be large.

But the damage is always personal.
