Hello. This is our little bit of the internet. Sorry about the mess. It's still being tinkered about with a bit.
Here you'll find a variety of short films made by Ben Worsfield and William Thomas. Most are comedy, some are horror, lots were made for competitions, the remainder just for fun. A few look quite nice, others were made at University when we should have been asleep.
There's also a few links to our radio days at Warwick University, if you prefer. Or not. It's just so up to you.
