In Temporal Echoes, a brilliant scientist utilises time travel to send Ada Lovelace from the future on a daring mission. Resurrected in 1807, Ada must collaborate with her estranged father, Lord Byron, on ground-breaking inventions (e.g. AI, computing) while navigating societal resistance and a shocking secret.

Song · released 24 June 2026 · Diddy Wheldon · DrDidsTV
World premiere: Sheffield Christian Film & Media Festival 2026 (Official Selection), followed by a 20+ minute discussion on AI in filmmaking with Diddy.
A raw response to Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas, honouring Dr Craig S Wright, Sammy Woodhouse and all the women who have been ignored for far too long. This song acknowledges the serious warnings about technology, power, and the loss of human dignity, but powerfully calls out what is missing: the full feminine voice, the wisdom of lived pain, the sacred relational heart of humanity that no algorithm or institution can replace. We are not machines. We are magnificent remains.
A cheeky British folk-punk protest song that captures everything we love and loathe about an English heatwave. Vocal and lyrics by Diddy Wheldon, with AI-enhanced production.
