Closer Led 2023

The story of two observers and narrators, a wanderer and a soldier. As we traverse a complicated journey, we venture through fragments of light into forests and cliffs. In their thoughts, they are getting closer to their destination, but their path is increasingly off course. Fragmented moments of contemplation come from their mouths, providing space for storytelling by the fire and the hike that brings their thoughts to the surface as their steps navigate winding terrain.
Movie Picture

The Beetroot 2025

Inspired by the traditional Slavic folktale “The Enormous Turnip,” a beetroot grows so huge that no one can pull it from the ground. When a local crane operator is hired to do the job, the giant vegetable turns violent and destructive. As chaos unfolds, an army is mobilized to stop it — but maybe there’s another way to appease this monstrous force... 2D animation, stop-motion, and live action mix together in this wild riff on Japanese kaiju movies.
