Continuing with our Film Series, we’re proud to bring you the Instagram Premiere of… 𝕼𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖆𝖒𝖓𝖊𝖉! Part I: Mummy (2020)
An aimless mummy uses newly discovered powers to save his neighbors during a pandemic. Starring Alyssa Limperis and Luke Mones.
Released in April, this film was a quarantine collaboration between a group of super talented people all stuck in their homes. Things were feeling pretty dark at the time (although they seem much darker now?) and we wanted to use our creative powers to spread joy and tell a couple of p**p jokes.
A HUGE thank you to the team who brought this episode to life: , co-creator and co-writer….zaveri, amazingly talented background artist…, multi-faceted producer…, super spOoOoky poster illustrator…, sound design wizard… and of course and , who voiced all of the characters and actually made this thing FUNNY.
The film was featured on , , , at the and got a great writeup in from .
Bonus piece of trivia: After releasing the film, an intellectual property troll in a remote part of Spain (aka incel) attempted to force the video off Vimeo due to the Brendan Frasier references. After a brief skirmish with the troll and a lengthy back and forth with the Vimeo legal team, we emerged victorious, and our ode to The Fras lives on in infamy.
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY!

Calm and enchanting, unstable and dangerous, Cami Galofre's paintings grow, shift, and dissolve before your very eyes. ‘El Mar’ is an experiment in bringing art to life through animation, using the work of Denver-based painter Cami Galofre. This piece premiered at the Supernova Film Festival in Denver in 2019.
Cami is a Colombian contemporary visual artist based in Denver. In her work she explores magical realism, painting transformational panoramas that demonstrate our link to the landscape and our duty to preserve it.
Cami and I met while studying design in Copenhagen in 2012. After undergrad, she began to pursue painting full-time, and I fell in love with her work. When she reached out about this opportunity to collaborate, I jumped at the chance.
Cami also agreed to let me use her work as the primary source material for my most recent film: ‘Malady of Mine’. Stay tuned for that one - it will premiere right here in a few weeks. And go follow in the meantime!
