Why “Melyn”?
In short, we’re making Welsh “Giallo” horror movies.
The horror subgenre Giallo (Italian for Yellow) got its name from the yellow paperback horrors and whodunnits popular in Italy. Giallo, therefore, translates to Melyn in Welsh.

OUR FIRST FEATURE: SCOPOPHOBIA
Scopophobia follows four girls who return home to a ghost town but find themselves being followed. By someone who knows what they did? Or by their guilty conscience? There’s more to each girl than meets the eye.
The production is set to begin in March 2022 with a 5-day shoot in Carmarthen, South Wales. This 1/3 of the film will be edited immediately and showcased to potential investors, in order to raise the remainder of the film’s budget. The film is set to complete production with another 10-day shoot in Swansea, in Autumn 2022.
“This town is haunted.
Not by ghosts…by ghost stories”
