Last week, we made a move to take control of our own narrative. Following the discovered piracy of our content, we decided to release a portion of our internal test footage to the public: a bold decision, we hoped, but, as it turned out, the right one.

The result? Over 200,000 views in just under seven days.

This clip features the phenomenal Elle O’Hara performing what would be a key moment from Tales from Davidstown, a raw, physical, and emotionally grounded female werewolf transformation scene that captures the heart of what our series is about. Grit, fear, identity, and the horror of becoming something other.

What started as an internal technical test for pacing and performance has exploded into a lightning rod for the series.

Fans of supernatural horror, audio drama, werewolf lore, dark fantasy, British gothic storytelling, and practical creature effects have all jumped in, and the response has been overwhelming.

This is just a taste of what’s coming. Tales from Davidstown is a character-driven supernatural horror series set in the bleak moors of North Yorkshire, combining cinematic audio design, genre-rich worldbuilding, and an ongoing story about trauma, control, and transformation.

Think The Witcher meets Ginger Snaps, with the emotional intensity of The Haunting of Hill House and the mythology of Penny Dreadful.

To everyone who’s commented, shared, or simply watched, thank you. This moment belongs to you as much as it does to us.

More scenes. More story. Coming soon!

We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with the incredibly talented singer/songwriter Sarah Daly, also known by her enchanting moniker, Metaphorest. In our latest episode, "The Blue Moon" (Episode 12), we had the privilege of featuring the captivating song "Clocks Back" co-written by Sarah and Yousef Khalil.

Metaphorest's music perfectly captured the bittersweet essence of the episode's finale, adding depth and emotional resonance to the story. The song's haunting melodies and poignant lyrics seamlessly intertwined with the narrative, creating a powerful and unforgettable experience for our listeners.

Sarah Daly's artistry extends beyond music, as she also expresses herself through her writings under the Metaphorest umbrella. Her unique blend of creativity and storytelling is truly remarkable, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to showcase her work in our series.

RO Pictures presents: "Tales from Davidstown" - experience our thrilling comic series based on the hit audio drama!

Immerse yourself in the haunting world of Emily Hargreaves as she navigates the darkness within and the supernatural threats lurking in the shadows. With each issue, you'll witness Emily's struggle to maintain her humanity while battling the beast inside, rendered in stunning visual detail by our talented team of artists, each bringing their own unique style to the series.

This gripping cover art by Chelsea de Torres showcases the duality of Emily's nature - the determined young woman and the fearsome werewolf. The striking red and blue color scheme and the menacing glowing eyes hint at the intense, action-packed storylines that await you in the pages of the "Tales from Davidstown" comic.

But the comics are more than just a retelling of the audio series. Expect expanded scenes, poster images of our characters and hidden easter eggs that enrich the lore of Davidstown and its supernatural denizens.

Whether you're already a die-hard fan of the podcast or a newcomer to Emily's journey, the "Tales from Davidstown" comic series is your ticket to a fresh experience in this dangerous, mysterious town.

TLDR: We’re looking for singer songwriters and bands to feature their music in our supernatural Audio Thriller Series “Tales from Davidstown”.

As most of you who follow me will (hopefully!) know, RO Pictures is currently producing an audio and comic series called “Tales from Davidstown” and as we’re getting ready to get our second season into production, we’re looking for music artists, who create original tracks, to feature in the show.

Our first season regularly featured music from artists via stock platforms, particularly Artlist, but moving forward, I want us to start directly working with people and licensing their work, so we can promote them as well as making them a part of the TfD family. In marketing terms, a cross-promotional collaboration.

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about commissioning new work, I mean licensing existing tracks.

So, if you are such an artist or know people who are, tag them in the comments below or have them DM me directly.

If you have any thoughts or questions, let me know below.

Looking forward to our future work together!

Thank you to everyone who has become a Patreon subscriber allowing us to make the series (including the comic!), we couldn't have done it without you!

Keep your eyes peeled for more about the series soon, including some new faces joining the show, as Emily's werewolf dilemma turns out to only be the tip of the iceberg!
