‘Mill has a can do attitude when it comes to making ideas work, with imagination and resourcefulness in the face of time or budget constraints. Mill designed an escape room style game for an immersive event which was an extremely successful addition.’
Megan Clifton (Cosmic Joke – Operation Annunaki)
Mill recently worked on an adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s Under the Pyramids, using elements of escape room puzzles and VR technology. The initial development phase was funded by Arts Council England, and work-in-progress showings at TOMTech’s VRLab and Brighton HorrorFest received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants.
Mill’s main interests include: immersive/interactive theatre, horror, sci-fi and fantasy, VR and digital technologies, escape rooms and live gaming. She is currently working in the programming team at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews, alongside running Paradice Board Game Convention in Worthing, West Sussex, programming for Brighton HorrorFest, and seeking collaborators for two new horror-themed musicals.
