#TheOtherStories

presents...

KEZ'S CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR!

We gathered 12 writers from the H&C community and let them dip their hands into our Secret Santa bucket. From the bucket each writer pulled out a word, and from that word, they were asked to write and narrate a very, very short story.

Today’s word was… toy.

And the story is Prezzie.

Written and narrated by Luke Kondor (https://www.lukekondor.com)

Edited by Karl Hughes (https://twitter.com/karlhughes)

With evil Christmas music by Duncan Muggleton (https://temporalrecordings.wordpress.com)

Along with a seasonal spin on the original The Other Stories theme by Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/).

Luke Kondor makes stuff, including Keith – a short film made in 7 days with no ideas, no money, and no camera, which went on to win the best low-budget short film at the London Short Film Festival; The Other Stories – a weekly short story podcast with over five million downloads and a Film/TV option; and El Marvo – a crowdfunded comic book about a Luchador wrestler in a post-apocalyptic future. You can follow more of Luke’s work at www.lukekondor.com

You can join our Bookclub, Movieclub, and writing exercises over at Facebook.com/groups/theotherstories.

T-shirts, mugs, posters, and comic books are available at www.gumroad.com/hawkandcleaver

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
