In February this year I walked across the North York Moors from Carlton bank and down through Bilsdale and Ryedale to Helmsley.

At the top of Carlton bank the atmosphere was scary and intimidating, not least because the area is so remote but also because of what could be seen around you, including forests so thick that they were pitch black inside, or very old danger signs warning of former mine works telling you to stick to the path.

Naturally, the experience was very memorable and has served as great inspiration for writing. Thus yesterday we announced the creation of "the face" a horror film which will be set and filmed in this precise location, which is accessible as part of the Cleveland way and Lord Stones country park.

A screenplay has already been written, designed for an easy to make but terrifying concept composed of three characters and no sets.

SunderVerse Media team members today at work on another short film "Don't Move" shoot filming in the Silksworth area of Sunderland.

26/10/2024

SunderVerse Media is for the first time leasing out equipment for other people's projects.

After some unfavourable experiences, it has been our long term strategy to gradually assemble our own capabilities rather than to rely on other people's.

The filming date for this project is next week.

Delighted to have returned yesterday from a visit to the United States, including Los Angeles, Hollywood and a tour of the Warner Brothers studio.

Here it was a privilege to explore the sets of some of the most famous productions in the world, including Friends, the Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, as well as classic movies such as the Mask, Gremlins, Annie, and even ones rented by Universal for Spiderman and Jurassic Park.

LA, as the centre of global entertainment and film, represents the pinnacle of our dreams, hopes, imagination and aspirations. We want to be able to take this magic and establish it in Sunderland and the North East.

SunderVerse media will be producing a “proof of concept” short-film for the epic-fantasy adventure story “The North Star.”

Concept: The North Star is an epic fantasy adventure novel set in the North East of England, particularly in Sunderland, published in July 2024. It tells the story of one girl’s raise to become an ancient Northumbrian hero to save her city from an ancient evil. The story incorporates real world themes and struggles into its fantasy narrative to tell a metaphorical tale of the city’s post-industrial and modern challenges.

In other words, what might a “taster” of such a film look like? Thus it was agreed in August 2024 to create this concept, with two realistic and engaging (but not climatic scenes) now selected featuring all four main characters. Therefore, we will be casting the following characters in it.

Sophie Scott (The North Star): Sophie Scott is the titular protagonist of the story. She is described as a girl in her late teens from Sunderland who has blonde hair. She is a strong willed but sometimes apathetic character who has been downtrodden by various stresses in her life.

Millie Chen: Millie Chen (Pictured left): Millie Chen is Sophie’s supportive and loyal best friend, who sticks up for her and helps her through their journey. She is described as a Chinese girl in her late teens. They have a close bond which acts as a critical aspect of character development for them both, especially in the scenes chosen

Micky White (Pictured Right): Sophie’s second sidekick who is her colleague at work in a local pub. Micky is described as a young man in his 20s who is confident, supportive, overtly honest and humble in his own way. Sophie initially starts off as wary towards him, but their friendship strengthens throughout the series.

William Parker-Fulton: A Politician who is ultimately revealed as the main antagonist of the story in the form of a “twist villain.” He is described as a middle aged man in his 40s or 50s.

Bertha Bagshaw: A school bully who bullies Sophie at the beginning of the Sophie. She is described as a tall, menacing girl. Young women aged 18-20s may apply.

Redcap: A form of monster which attacks Sophie throughout the story, resembling a very large figure with goblin features and grey skin, wearing rags and a red cap. The applicant should be a tall well built male. This is a costume and makeup role.

To audition for these roles, please write to [email protected] for more information. Please note we have not scheduled filming dates as of this time, but early 2025 is a good estimate.

The newest installment of the SunderVerse series has been announced as "The Magical Bike Ride", a historical fantasy adventure story.

In the year 2006, two young men from Hetton created one of the earliest viral videos on YouTube known as "The Magical Bike Ride."

The comedic video, filmed on an ancient blurry phone camera, depicts the boys cycling along to Warden Law where they sing a humorous song involving a "git big pylon", instantly becoming a local cult classic.

Now, the legacy of that video is set to open a new chapter, literally, as a novel inspired by its concept is now underway as the second installment of the "SunderVerse" which opened with The North Star this July.

Titled by the same name, The Magical Bike Ride, the book will be a historical fantasy adventure novel set in both modern day Houghton-le-spring and 15th century Sunderland.

It tells the story of two sixteen year old boys, Andrew and Brodie, living in present day Houghton who on visiting Warden Law are unintentionally taken back in time to the 1400s and stranded in the land known as "Bishopwearmouth".

Supported only by a young lady known as Katherine Jackson, the boys must navigate a world which will readily denounce their presence as witchcraft if their secret is discovered, all while coming to terms with the mysterious force that has brought them there and the darker evil behind it.

The book will offer a lighthearted yet emotionally impactful adventure, which while fantastical, pays careful addition to real historical detail while nonetheless fluidly adding to the universe which debuted with the North Star, which chronically took place just before the present day part of this book.

With writing having started a year ago across several drafts, around 40,000 words of the story have since been written. Author T.J Oswald has vowed to try the self-publishing route as an experiment, seeking to maintain the rights exclusively. This means there will be several opportunities available.

An initial draft screenplay was also created in 2023, but this is not likely to be taken forward anytime soon due to the significant budget demands of a period drama.

We are delighted to confirm that following months of limbo, and supported now by the book, we will be moving forward on creating a North Star "Proof of Concept" short film with the fundamental goal of promoting this franchise towards bigger and better things.

In addition to that, following up from an earlier meeting earlier this year, we will also be creating a stage show which we will be aiming to launch for next year!

On August 13th a team of four will set off on an 80 mile journey by foot from Sunderland to Scotland across four days. Our goal? To raise funds for the Connor Brown Trust.

Over the past few weeks, our country and city have experienced tremendous upheaval. A brutal killing of young girls, combined with violent riots, have shaken our communities but they have not broken our faith and resolve in our cherished values.

Therefore, we are choosing to raise money for an organisation that dedicates itself to fighting knife crime amongst young people, promoting awareness and bringing hope to our city and communities. Connor Brown, a young man who is deeply loved and missed by all, continues to live on in our hearts as a symbol of love and solidarity.

This is why, In his memory and namesake, Connor's parents are now doing everything in their power to help raise awareness and prevent such tragedies repeating themselves. The Connor Brown trust is subsequently making a robust effort throughout Sunderland, investing in saving lives through purchasing bleed kits for emergency situations, while also having arranged the Knife Angel statue to display here.

As a result, we believe the charity was the perfect fit to a response to the past few weeks. We sincerely hope the money raised from it will contribute to the good of our city and community and help fend off the evils of knife crime, and remind us that in Sunderland, we stand together.
