The Consequences of Monsters
Across decades, the echoes of past horrors shape the nightmares of the present in this anthology feature of queer bedtime stories—where every choice leaves a shadow, and every monster comes with a consequence.
A scrappy, queer horror anthology feature— closer to cult midnight cinema than prestige drama — where storytelling, atmosphere matter more than polish.

Craig is an award-winning filmmaker and creative producer known for creating distinct, genre-driven stories that live in the dark corners of the queer experience. His work explores queer identity, fear, and folklore through rich visuals and twisted storytelling.
Most recently, he created the anthology feature,The Consequences of Monsters — “a collection of queer bedtime stories” — starring Harriet Thorpe, blending decades of horror influence with a fresh, personal perspective.
He is drawn to horror as a genre that reveals, distorts, and amplifies — the perfect space to explore identity, power, and transformation.
