Project: The Lion & The Unicorn (formerly UNIKIN) Date: 10 December 2025 Author: Toby Whŷ Godden 1. Project Overview The Lion & The Unicorn is now in an advanced early-development state with a complete pilot screenplay (approx. 90 pages). The project has stabilised into a coherent, pitch-ready property: a grounded urban mysticism thriller set in Hackney, structured around Welsh cosmology, institutional secrecy, working-class craft lineages, and the buried myth of the chained unicorn in British heraldry. The story is driven by three leads—Finch, Clay, and Tangent—and supported by the Seven Sisters network and a bureaucratic antagonist known as The Order. The world is fully realised, shootable, and thematically resonant: identity, state power, mythology under erasure, and the ethics of craft. 2. Status of Script Materials Pilot Episode - Full draft complete. - Structurally sound, industry length, tight pacing. - Contains multiple showpiece sequences suitable for a pitch deck: Finch–Clay initiation Homerton Hospital distortion corridor Lincoln’s Inn chamber Tangent’s unicorn encounter Clay’s Section 136 removal - - Tone: realistic, political, mythic without leaning fantasy. - Readable as prestige drama with speculative architecture. Series Spine (implicit) - Core engine established: Finch navigating London’s concealed geometry while trying to locate Tangent, destabilise The Order’s mythic infrastructure, and survive institutional counter-pressure. - Strong path to 6–8 episode Season One. Next actions: formalise the series bible, logline, and writer’s statement. 3. IP Position - Core material wholly original, owned by Toby Whŷ Godden. - Mythic elements derive from public-domain heraldic imagery and Welsh folklore reframed through original cosmology. - Ffilm.org to be listed as originating production entity. - No third-party encumbrances identified. 4. Creative Team Development Immediate Needs - Producer attachment (ideally UK-based, prestige drama experience). - Story consultant with urban realism / institutional knowledge (optional). - VFX/Practical Creature collaborator for unicorn conceptualisation (Ghosthorse / projection specialists in mind). - Sound designer for diegetic tinnitus-based unicorn audio cue. - Hackney Council liaison for future location permissions.

Hi everyone . Im off to the film festivals this December in london if anyone wants to join me. I have a film that is looking for a producer, director in the industry to contact agents of actors etc. Its only a first step producer job probably as the film is geered to be major and im certain it will get the support it needs as the world needs it.

This project began in the streets between Shacklewell, Kingsland Road, and the little interstices where London forgets itself. UniKin grows from that soil — a story about the hidden structures under the city, the things we walk past without noticing, and the mythic events that surface when you finally look directly at them. Today I’m sharing the Future State Vision for UniKin: a unified document that brings the filmmakers, artists, designers, performers, and collaborators into a single direction of travel. It covers: - the core aesthetic (documentary realism + mythic emergence) - the Unicorn and Anchor semiotics - the production method (one-take rites, lived London) - the design, cinematography, and casting ethos - and the public-art intervention that ties everything together If you’re here, you’re already part of the creative spine of the project. Read it, sit with it, let it inform your contributions. We’re building something strange, truthful, and necessary. UniKin is London, seen clearly. The magic was always there — we simply document it.

UniKin is a working space for developing a new filmmaking methodology grounded in documentation, location-based research, and lived interaction. This group hosts screen captures, workflow tests, production notes, and reference material created during the development of the UniKin method. It isn’t a course or a community yet — it’s a lab notebook. A place to organise process, share drafts with collaborators, and build a clear methodology before formal production begins.
