Wales wakes up!
You are not watching a film. You are inside one — and so is everyone else.
This is the entry hub for a participatory film experience built across real places in Wales: an alternate reality game, a cast of thousands, and the narrative infrastructure of the Time Travellers Guild. Open a door. Add your scene. The city is already remembering.
Cast registering…Choose a thread. None of them are required — but the story only finishes if enough people walk in.
The game layer
Massively multiplayer alternate reality — puzzles, signals, and scenes that bleed into the street. Wales wakes up one layer at a time.
Enter the ARG →Consult MABEL
An ancient compendium — librarian, counsellor, time interface. Ask what the layers mean. She speaks in flowing prose, as if you are standing before her.
Open MABEL →Time Travellers Guild
Written down in 2008 as a game. Needed in 2013 as a lifeline. The longer-running narrative framework — mythology as method, shared language for time, place, and production.
Time Travellers Guild →Arianrhod
Feature film in development. What if Wales itself is the thing that was made by clever tricks, and is therefore incomplete — and the film is the attempt to finish it?
Read the treatment →The Screen
Live performance system — sound, cueing, timing, presence. WebGL, signal, and the delivery mechanism for what already exists inside people.
Open the Screen →Ffilm Clŵb
Community filmmaking in Ystradgynlais — where the cast of thousands meets the welfare hall. Show up. Make together. Screen when ready.
Ffilm Clŵb →Non-actors participate. Street-level neighbours complete the network. Credits are per department lane — first come, first served.
Crew recruitment
Volunteer for production lanes — locations, sound, casting, art, and more. Portable context for humans and assistants alike.
