Okay so ...

My name's Luke. I live in Manchester in the UK. I started writing nonsense on my computer in my early teens and never looked back, and now I've got really sore eyes.

Here's some stuff that I've done.

Last year I made a short film in 7 days with no money, no ideas, and no camera. It since went semi-viral, won the best low-budget short film award at the London Short Film Festival, and got me invited to film festivals all over the world.

It's called Keith.

With my friends, I started an indie publishing company called, Hawk & Cleaver. We've published novels, podcasts, and are set to launch our very own comic book -- El Marvo.

Hawk & Cleaver

I write and publish novels. The most recent series I've published is called The Hipster From Outer Space and it's about an ancient space-being who wakes up in the body of a hipster in East London. Standard stuff eh?

With H&C we're publishing the crowd-favourite, The Other Stories podcast, where we publish a new sci-fi, horror, thriller, WTF, short story every Monday morning.

It's been described as the "Black Mirror of podcasts" and is sort of a modern day TwiLight Zone.

We're also going to be posting these on Steemit as of this coming Monday. More details here

Or you can go and listen to the show via YouTube here:

And ... we've just launched a behind-the-scenes podcast called, The Story Studio. A show about Self-Publishing, Independent Art, and the Future of Storytelling. You can check that out here

Okay so here's the rub.

Me and the guys at H&C flipping love telling stories.

We love writing books, films, podcasts, comics, and together we're building up a pretty awesome little story empire. We've done all of the above in the last 18 months alone. Come along for the ride and let's see what the hell we can do in the next 18 months!

I liked the film, and I liked that it won the Luke Kondor award for being a film by Luke Kondor. What can I say? Congratulations.

Welcome to Steemit!

Yeah I may have had some sway in that competition. And thanks!

I have 100% confidence that the moderation of the competition was pure and unbiased

I knew they'd make the right decision in the end :p.

I like your writing style, and the humor is there too.

I'm your first follower it appears >:)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Just followed you back too.

"I started writing nonsense on my computer in my early teens and never looked back, and now I've got really sore eyes." 😂😂 I LOVED "Keith" when you posted it in Choose Yourself group. I love Black Mirror, too, so can't wait to check out more. Welcome to Steemit!

Ha thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Welcome to Steemit... You will need some type of verification post. We would not want some impostor getting rewards for your work. You could just post something about Steemit on your other social media sites, maybe a photo with a Steemit sign, or something like that....

Anyway, I think you will like Steemit. :)

Welcome, mate! It looks like you can get success here if you will make the same cool stuff for steemit :)

Take my vote, and good luck!

I will do my best @seva! Thanks.

Welcome Luke, Enjoy the Steem :)

Ah it burns!

I kid I kid ... it's nice.

Welcome to Steemit! I hope you will get more attention from the other steemers!

Why, thank you.

Welcome my friend

Thanks :)
