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.

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.
