Stories about not belonging: the Outsider’s View – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/erascapes/being-forbidden?ref=etv2uk

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to talk about Being Forbidden, and in particular why this story matters to me more than I originally expected.

There are not many opportunities where I get to tell a story that focuses so strongly on emotion rather than action or plot.

But Being Forbidden is a story about not belonging anywhere, and that theme resonated with me more deeply than I anticipated. As a creator, I often sit slightly outside established groups. I am not only an audio creator, I also make games, which means I do not quite fit into either space. Even outside of creative work, I have often found myself on the edges rather than at the centre of things.

Being able to explore those feelings, and to tell a story where not quite belonging is a core part of the narrative, has been incredibly rewarding.

If you are someone who has ever felt like you were never quite part of the main group, never fully inside the circle, I think Being Forbidden may speak to you as well. Don’t miss it.
