18/6/2019

Today we are happy to announce that a new short film adaption of another Sir Arthur Conan Doyle short story is underway. "The Truth Lies Within" will be adapted from the story The New Catacomb. The story was first published in The Sunlight Year-Book in 1898 under the title Burger's Secret.

Playing the lead roles will be John Rittey as Benjamin Kennedy, and Louis Mackenzie as Julius Burger. Two archaeologists searching for new secrets within the ruins of ancient Rome.

Similar to the recent Professor Challenger & The Disintegration Machine, and the upcoming The Terror at Blue John Gap, the film will be set within the same universe as the NPLH web series.

Check back soon for more casting information.

9 Years of NPLH

9/5/2019

9 years ago today, the first NPLH episode came out! I think that means that I should probably make some sort of statement, but I am not sure what I am meant to say.

I would be lying if I said that I had no idea that I would still be doing it all this time later. I had set out to make the show over a ten year period. Which, in hindsight, was sort of ridiculous given that I had never directed/edited or produced at that point. Yet, here I still am doing this, and more.

It is very hard to fully explain all that it means to me, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it changed my life for the better. By no means overnight, but incremental. It has seen some amazing people come and go into my life, was my training ground for so many aspects of the film word, and brought me into contact with passionate and interesting Holmesians around the world. It led to me having an audiobook, invites to Sherlockian events, being sent way too many Sherlock Holmes books than I can ever read in a lifetime, and autograph requests from all over the globe. I am just excited, if not more, than when I first started. There are many more documentaries to make, mysteries to solve, and oft overlooked work by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that I still wish to adapt and share with the world. And lots more too, I am sure.

Thank you for everyone who has watched, shared, liked, commented, and cared for my content nearly a decade on from when I first started.
Ever so sincerely yours,
Ross K. Foad
