The Screaming Woods

Kent Independent Film shares updates across its growing slate of independent productions

Kent Independent Film is pleased to share the latest news from its current and upcoming projects, alongside updates from our sister company Triad Productions, developing original genre-led features.

Both companies work closely together while maintaining distinct creative identities, united by a shared commitment to bold storytelling and independent filmmaking.


The Final Act – a Triad Productions film

Triad Productions’ latest feature is The Final Act, a supernatural thriller directed by Steve Davis.

The film stars Lauren Murrell, Jack Willcox, Lottie Binks and Ava Wright, all making their feature film debuts.

The Final Act follows a young team of paranormal investigators filming an episode of their TV show, Britain’s Got Ghosts. When they agree to spend the night locked inside the abandoned Abbey Theatre, a routine investigation quickly becomes a fight for survival as they realise they are not alone — and that something within the building is watching.


Christmas Presence – a Triad Productions film

Triad Productions has also confirmed that Christmas Presence is currently in development. The festive horror feature will star Ellie-Mae Dymott and Lauren Murrell, blending seasonal atmosphere with supernatural tension. Further details will be announced as the project progresses.


The Screaming Woods – a Kent Independent Film production

Kent Independent Film continues work on The Screaming Woods, a found-footage horror feature set near Britain’s most haunted woods in and around Pluckley, Kent.

The film follows a small documentary team, played by Lauren Murrell, Jack Willcox and Ava Wright, who travel to the area to explore the village’s long-standing reputation for ghost sightings and unexplained phenomena. As part of their investigation, they interview a number of local residents — portrayed by Paul Terry, Tony Burden, Vanessa Terry, Tyler Johnson, Gary JJ Spate and Steve Davis — each offering their own accounts, warnings and pieces of local folklore.

As the documentary progresses and the team ventures deeper into the woods themselves, it becomes increasingly clear that the legends they are uncovering may not simply be stories passed down through generations, but something far more real — and far more dangerous.


Kent Independent Film and Triad Productions continue to collaborate while pursuing their own creative paths, developing distinctive independent films that champion emerging talent and original genre storytelling.

Further updates across all projects will be announced in due course.

Meet the No Glory team in Normandy this June

This June marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the turning point in the war efforts to liberate France from the occupying Nazi Germany. As it is such a momentous occasion and the fact that No Glory is based upon this very event – more specifically Operation Titanic, part of the larger Operation Overlord – the director and producer will be in Normandy throughout that week. During this week we will be interviewing people about their experiences and what it means to be part of the 75th anniversary of the largest military exercise in history. We will be in Ouistreham and Luc-Sur-Mer on 4th June, Pegasus Bridge on 5th June and Carentan on 7th June. If you would like to be interviewed get in touch with us, or if you see us come say hello, we will be wearing No Glory branded military attire throughout. Lest We Forget. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today. That sheds his blood with me. Shall be my brother.
