“Found-storytelling” is a style of storytelling that pulls together written, oral or visual records that we create in the course of our day-to-day lives. They might be notes we scribble to ourselves, voicemails we leave each other, or the footage from a traffic camera. When put together, they tell a story that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Bram Stoker’s original novel, Dracula, was told through of a series of letters, newspaper clippings, receipts and personal journals which, when pieced together, told the chilling tale of the monster Dracula’s reign of terror on the streets of 1893 London. The Dracula Files stays true to Stoker’s vision by crafting the story you are about to hear through voicemails, Voxer messages, and personal recordings. Professional actors were cast for each of the characters of The Dracula Files. Instead of using a sound stage, these actors recorded their scenes at various real-world locations that mimic the events of story for the rough, authentic sound of a found-storytelling medium.
