DON’T PANIC! Creating Audio Recordings of genre drama opens up a limitless universe. Join Dirk as we perform, record, produce and premiere a new story written by an LSF delegate. Learn how YOU can do the same and bring your story to life right now.

We did this at LSF 2018 and LSF 2024, both times entering the Alien universe, and the video above is one of the audios we performed, edited and premiered in the room. To be clear, we recorded it in the session, the editor worked their magic and added music and effects, and an hour later we premiered it in the session! AMAZING!

The LSF competition to write the script and have it produced LIVE in the room with Dirk is now OPEN.
