A Tale of 2 Estates - The Prologue
‘A Tale of 2 Estates‘ is a music-making and live performance project which brings together emerging rappers, classical musicians, filmmakers, and theatre makers.
It is a story of Bradford's youth told through live music, theatre and film—two lads from different cultures who have to grow up fast in a struggle to find their identities. Forced to navigate loyalties, crime and prejudices, the events detail their survival and shine a light on situations familiar to many.

Miroslav Kiss is the founder and managing director of the GRIT Multimedia creative production company. Under this banner, he creates many multidisciplinary works, from commercial/music industry-based filmmaking to design and creative direction and original works such as short films and writing projects.
The making of this project changed my outlook on collaboration. If I'm to be totally honest, it's not something I do particularly well. Though, not for reasons such as control or vanity but just because I've been mostly alone on this journey from the start. That completely changed here. I felt supported, taken care of, cared about, appreciated and welcomed. I felt heard, which is one of the great joys this project has brought me. Being a cog in this wonderful machine of people is an honour I won't forget for a while. I'm grateful to have been afforded the opportunity to contribute to this labour of love.
