Secret Jazz Diaries is told through a hybrid format that blends narrative comedy, animation, mockumentary and musical performance into one world. Protagonist Llewyn Corn drunkenly narrates his chaotic adventures from a cosy library, cutting between real scenes, animated exaggerations and high quality musical performance, blurring truth, fantasy and self delusion.
"Secret Jazz Diaries' slightly surreal murky underworld has not really been tapped into before. It's very funny. There's a rich avenue of comedy being mined." · Bill Bailey
The project built a cult following through the independently produced short mockumentary "The Return of Louis Horne" (2018), which travelled internationally and won multiple awards.
