Lachlan is our first every Storyteller-in-Residence within the ArtKeeper program. This will see him uncover and tell the stories from behind the scenes of ArtKeeper, in tandem with pursuing his own artist-led project.
#The project
During his time in the ArtKeeper program, Lachlan is writing, producing, directing and performing in the pilot episode of an original audio drama set in a apartment in Burleigh Heads. The pilot is part of a multi episode noir mystery series that follows a man trying to deal with the loss of his wife while becoming embroiled in a missing person cold case that spans time and continents, from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the 1970s Gold Coast.
