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.
