THE MEDUSA B X
'FOR SOME IT'S A HOBBY, FOR OTHERS AN OBSESSION.'
'The Medusa Box' tells the story of two mismatched hobbyists on a quest across Dartmoor to uncover the secret of 'The Elusive Medusa'.
The innocent past time of Letterboxing, along with the stunning scenery of Dartmoor, forms the backdrop to a twisting tale of unhealthy obsessions and sinister secrets, one that will appeal to anybody with an appetite for mysteries and perhaps a little of the macabre.
While a standalone feature in it's own right, 'The Medusa Box' will also serve as a pilot episode of sorts - with the aim to continue telling more twisted folklore tales in a genre anthology series - provisionally titled 'Darkmoor'.

THE MEDUSA BOX PRODUCTION UPDATE
The Medusa Box team have now completed filming the Prologue to The Medusa Box and will be using this 7 minute short film to attract investors and build the films profile. A small cast and crew ventured to a small forest on Dartmoor in March 2022 to capture this opening scene.
