Hey there!

I am a student at Lancaster University and know John Hardy, who pointed me to the forum after i expressed interest in helping with this project.

I am a masters student who is working in the creative arts community, and have a theatre studies degree, which included work on scriptwriting. I have since then wrote two plays and aided in the writing of one that was performed in a local theatre. I have a big interest in fantasy and sci fi and would like to help shape and create the storyline for this project in any capacity i can.

Additionally, as a side project I am looking for any work as a voice actor if there is any openings!

Cheers for having a look, if you have any questions or would like some samples ill check this thread, and my email: r.moxon1@lancs.ac.uk
