    Pure is an animated sci fi action adventure short written and directed by Chris Figat and Eric Swymer and produced by our studio Keed. It’s inspired by films like Star Wars, Blade Runner, the Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Fifth Element and tv shows like Cowboy Bebop and Batman: The Animated Series. We feel like that sense of adventure and wonder is missing from so much of today’s storytelling, and we really want to bring back the colorful characters, wondrous worlds, and nefarious villains of our childhood.

    Pure is set on a distant Earth-like planet in a land under a totalitarian regime, and our heroes are in search of an ancient artifact they feel may be able to turn the tide. We’ve developed a rich cast of characters and some fantastic environments for them to explore, and we’ve put together a story that we think audiences are really going to enjoy. The short is intended as a proof of concept for an animated series or potentially an animated feature.

  • Lighter on Thistle One short Film

    Artella

    July 2017 - September 2017
    Artella

    A Bobby Beck 's short film created on the Artella cloud platform

    Post apocalyptic adventure set in the not too distant future.

    The Concept
    It's the future and outsiders have come to Earth to make it their home, but first they need to rid the planet of an opposing force, humans. The larger story would delve into the life of an average girl who is living in the new world, struggling to survive. She meets others along the way and the larger story would be about them, not necessarily the outsiders.

    Thistle One is a mix between Red Dawn, The Walking Dead (the later bits) and The Goonies. Wild combo, but we think there are elements in all of these that focus on the character side while having the outsiders simply as part of their reality that they have to deal with - as in the zombies from The Walking Dead. The truth is that they still have to deal with each other, too.

    The Project
    Aia has learned to operate abandoned military battle armor (Thistle 001). In the sequence we currently making she is already in mid battle with one of the outsider's parasites. The sequence is a high energy, all out battle.
