Discovering The Museum of Stories

Once we'd established the setting for the film, Ayscoughfee Hall, Spalding, and been granted the privilege of filming there, it fell to me to design the setting for Heartsfelled and his small audience to occupy and share the poetic saga of The Identity Stealer!

After a while, the "Museum of Stories" just came into being.  Of course!  Because Heartsfelled is a timeless, ancient, traditional Storyteller, it makes sense that he occupies a Museum of Stories.

Today the museum has a curator, (yes, really!). He is, amongst other things, the curator of archaeology at the Spalding Gentlemen's Society Museum, but he has generously agreed to curate the Museum of Stories while Heartsfelled himself is busy elsewhere.  Together we are gathering and preparing story artifacts, not just for The Identity Stealer but for many of the other stories of which Heartsfelled is the custodian.

Working on this is fascinating and very pleasing ... as you will be able to see for yourselves when the film is released.
