Our short film has now finished its year on the festival circuit, and we’re finally releasing it to the public today!
It’s been a long journey. (The original shoot was 14 years ago. The child actors are now 30 year old adults!) This particular sequence represents 1 out of 40+ scenes from our feature. It took 2 years to make using Unreal Engine (With a bit of help from Vicon/Maya/Houdini/Marvelous Designer/Facegood and Substance Painter) using a small team of students and lecturers. (With lots more having helped get it to this point over the years.)
We worked on it in our spare time, fitting it around our full time jobs/studies. (We are still looking for funding to make it professionally and speed up production, if anyone knows any billionaires who love magical-realist fantasy films!)
Since completing it we are close to finishing a further 10 minutes of film, which we are super excited about; starting from the beginning of the feature this time, and working through chronologically. We’ll be releasing it when we have an “episode” length section, so we can serialise it properly. (Each episode will run between 15 – 20 minutes in length) More blogs on this coming soon!
But until then, please enjoy this small slice of the world of “Stina & the Wolf” by clicking on the tab at the top: Short – “The Aunts House”
Signing off for now,
Paul
