It was an honour to present The Wyrm of Bwlch Pen Barras on behalf of director Craig and myself at its UK premiere at the Shetland Screenplay Festival. I was interviewed beforehand by horror expert and all-round critical royalty, Mark Kermode.

A really good house (85+) was in attendance - a very generous and knowledgeable crowd, in a terrific, intimate setting (the arts centre, Mareel, in Lerwick). I received some lovely, encouraging feedback from delegates who recognised the influences of the Mabinogion and other folk-horror ideas.
