Studio Projects:

Beastly Crimes:
In the cozy and prosperous Far Forest, predation is prohibited by law, strictly enforced by the police. A brutal crime shatters the harmony: an unknown assailant has treacherously consumed a Hare. The case is taken up by the experienced investigator Badger Sr. and his talented young partner, Badgercat.

Luz Diabla:
Martin, a flamboyant city boy, drives in the countryside looking for a rave where his favourite DJ is performing. As he pops some pills, a mysterious light flashes before him, causing a car crash. Confused, he finds himself asking for help at a tavern, where two gauchos warn him of a terrifying power that haunts the area. Scared by their foreboding attitude, Martin flees, ignoring their warnings and finds the rave. But as he enters, he finds something much more terrifying.

Forest King:
Set in a suffocating over-commercialized future, a young boy’s desire for success and status leads him into a terrifying and deadly new reality through the lens of a mysterious VR game. His desperate father must now race against both time and technology to save his dying son. But the boy is the only one who can save himself, and he must do it before becoming another faceless pawn of the Forest King. Adapted from the poem “The Forest Tsar” written in 1818 by Vasiliy Zhukovsky.
