About the Studio

Afterlife Story Lab is an independent story studio in Bristol, England, founded by Lindsay Clift. We develop original stories from a single page to a finished slate, building each one across the format it was meant for: film, television, books, and audio. The throughline is the work itself. Darkly funny, emotionally honest, and set in the space between life and death.

Signature Style

  • Dark comedies and thrillers with emotional weight
  • Stories that live in the space between life and death
  • Character-driven, with a literary sensibility
  • Original stories across film, television, books, and audio
