If you’re new here, here’s the simplest way to hold UniKin in your head:
UniKin is a story told on two layers at once — the lived London layer, and the unseen layer just beneath it.
On the surface, it follows:
- Finch, a courier moving through Hackney’s interstices
- Clay, an elderly documentarian sitting in a dusty Ridley Road back office
- Tangent, missing, held somewhere below the city
- An Anchor, drifting through London, impossible yet photographed
- A Unicorn, hidden in the graffiti layer, half-symbol, half-real
The tone is grounded — always.
Documentary first, mythic second.
If the magic shows up, it must feel like it was always there, not added.
A few guiding principles:
- London isn’t a backdrop; it’s a collaborator
- No CGI tricks — we use puppetry, projection mapping, physical objects
- One-take scenes when the emotional charge demands it
- Crowds and real locations provide texture, not noise
- The metaphysics emerges through detail, not exposition
This community exists so the writers, performers, designers, researchers, and visual collaborators can build a shared language before anything goes into production.
If the first post was the Future State, this post is the North Star.
We’re here to make a story where reality bends — not through spectacle, but through attention.
Welcome.
