Boz Temple-MorrisBoz Temple-Morris

Boz was joint artistic director of award winning theatre company Primitive Science before founding Holy Mountain in 2003 to explore innovative approaches in audio as well as live and digital arts.

His audio drama productions for the BBC are often investigative and always sound-led. Recent productions have explored police corruption, social media and UK activism and have experimented with production techniques and new ways of story telling. This year he has made The Good Listener, examining the inner workings of GCHQ, and Hair of the Dog, a multi location drama recorded in a single take.

As a producer of digital narratives, his recent work includes Brandon Generator, an interactive comic made in collaboration with Edgar Wright and Tommy Lee Edwards, with music by David Holmes.

All the work has strong story telling and innovative audience engagement at its heart.
