LAUGHING in the DARK
Natalie Medlock is thankful for her horse’s headbutt. It may have left her concussed – not for the first time – and recovering in the dark for three months, but it meant when it came to making The Pact, a TV series she co-created and thematically based on her 2018 short film of the same name, she wasn’t able to direct it as intended.
