The Old Man and the Demon Sword

The Old Man and the Demon Sword

From the haunted forests of a lost Portuguese village, an evil energy is born. Without fearing God or Man, it roams the valleys harvesting the souls of those who are distracted by the fleeting pleasures of the immediate... The only thing that separates these entities from the final apocalypse that will enslave humanity in the seventh circle of hell is a retired construction worker, a bottle of wine, a Zündapp 50cc motorcycle and a sword possessed by a strange demon.

Stew to Eat

Stew to Eat

The Stew is almost ready, but there is one thing missing… a dark adventure of unrequited love, societal decay and insatiable hunger.

'Stew to Eat' is a silent narrative in the style of 1920’s German Expressionism with modern flourishes peppered in throughout. It takes inspiration from a wide range of classics (Dr. Caligari, Carnival of Souls, The Marx Brothers' Paramount films, etc.) but also emerges as something new - it’s not quite horror, not quite comedy. It’s story-driven, and yet also formally experimental. More than anything, it’s a celebration of DIY world-building, unlikely communities, and the overwhelming urge to be seen.
