About me

1.  My favourite day of the year is 31st October. Not because it’s my birthday, but because it’s Halloween.
2. I was born in the small village of Beddgelert in Snowdonia, North Wales.
3. The occult has always been a source of fascination for me. I saw a ghost for the first time when I was five.
4. I spent much of my childhood reading comics, collecting insects and coming up with ghost stories.
5. I still collect crime books, obscure comics, horror movies and movie figurines.
6. My school reports described me as “creative”, as I was writing, drawing, taking pictures and producing short films from a young age.
7. I have a BA (Hons) Media & Communications from Goldsmiths, University of London.
8. In 2010, I realised my creative projects had taken over my life – that’s why I set up my own transmedia company – Spirit Level Productions
9. At the moment, I’m devoting all my time to my new project involving a magical Zoetrope. It’s the ultimate platform experience and undoubtedly my most spine-tingling production yet.
10. When I’m not working, I’m into gadgets (old and new), industrial metal, electro and techno music, Gothic literature, and experimenting with parapsychology and shamanism.
11. I live in London, with Gina, my girlfriend‘s goldfish, and a few ghosts.
12. The best way to contact me is through Twitter: @_Zoetrap
13. If you’re attending the Storyworld conference in San Francisco, don’t miss my workshops where I’ll be demonstrating how to harness the power of the spirit world as a transmedia platform. It’s a first for the industry – I guarantee you won’t have seen anything like it before! I need fearless recruits to take part, look forward to seeing you there…

“In the centre of the horror, 
of the civilization, there is the happiness to be alive. This is a 
happiness, when you can create a world, and you have a public, it is 
fantastic.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky – filmmaker, comic book writer and occultist
