Teaser/Trailer for ‘Locked’ – a short story by Strange Tales is now on YouTube. I had the pleasure of composing the music for this episode (some of which is used in the trailer). Due for release on Halloween 2025.
Directed by Teddy Smith
written by Eleonora Mignoli
starring Angharad L Ford, Lucas Eisele with Duncan Stockwell and Rob Murphy
In the future, Justice is delegated to machines: infallible and objective, these AI dispense fair punishments. Kay is accused by her neighbour of dropping trash on their lawn. It’s a civil infraction, and while it was only an oversight on Kay’s part, she’s charged with a small fine. Kay is about to leave when her hand is locked, and the machine accuses her of murder – of somebody Kay has never met. Her only chance at survival is to prove her innocence, but while the AI begins drawing a net of guilt around her, we’re left asking ourselves if she’s as innocent as she looks.
