Morning in the Sundial Garden
This short animation is based on an excerpt from Samantha Shannon’s fantasy novel, The Priory of the Orange Tree, where a maid murders a king. A mysterious, concealing framing and pacing create a cool and comedic tone. Anime fans will appreciate the final trope, an homage to the genre.
Angels’ Tomb – Art book and game trailer
In this horror role-playing game, children with monstrous “friends” try to escape the Tomb of the Drowned Angel. The city’s inhabitants revere the tomb—they believe that an angel’s death has blessed the land. The inhabitants sense entities that guide them, which has led the city to prosper. The city runs on natural water springs and oil. But these resources have faded. In hopes of resurrecting the Angel and restoring their land, the inhabitants offer children as sacrifices.
