    Sleepyman is a supernatural short film starring Mike Wozniak and Will Adamsdale, based on the story by Emmy award winning author David Quantick. Set in the 1890’s, Mike plays Jeremy, an academic plagued by glimpses of a figure – the eponymous Sleepyman. Increasingly haunted by these visions, he confides in his condition to his closest friend Alfred (Will). Is Jeremy’s affliction in his mind, or is there more to the tale of Sleepyman than meets the eye….

    The main part of the storyline was filmed at the NLO (Norman Lockyer Observatory) in September 2022 by John Panton and Exmouth Community College.
    I think we can all relate to the main character’s affliction, mine have certainly been getting worse! Is there anything we can do about them!

    A rather troubling storyline, but does show off the observatory well. I noticed your name in the closing credits.

    Peter, we have had many films/documentaries filmed at NLO over the years, but very few give us copies of what they produce! This was rather an unusual request, but they were very grateful for the end result. It was a full day’s worth of filming for a 12 minute film, but it was interesting to sit on the side lines to see how it was all put together. I’ve made a short behind the scenes presentation here. I think the poor old ghost drew the short straw, he only made a very fleeting appearance!
