The Butterfly Circus

Posted by DeK on February 15, 2010 @ 2:03 pm | Comment

At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover, Will, a man without limbs who lives out his life in a sordid carnival sideshow, far below his aspirations of the grandeur of the great circuses. Having only known a life of limitation and discouragement, Will is struck by an intriguing encounter with the showman that leaves him with a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed.

Winner of the Doorpost Film Project, this short film by Joshua Weigel will be expanded into a feature length film.

Watch it. (Flash Video)

Lucy is a girl who loves candy, especially Lolly pops. However, to the lolly this innocent, sweet little girl is a monster who slowly tortures the defenceless stick before crunching it into pieces.

A great escape story like no other, Lucy Lolly is a tooth rotting horror adventure that will make you think twice about playing with your candy.

Directed by Aaron Foster, this was the final major project for his BA Honors degree in Digital Animation at the South East Essex College.
