Heavenly Vessel

The uneasy stasis of a space-dwelling Monarchy is shaken by the arrival of a hypnotic, luminous dwarf planet. Caught between the authoritarian Duke and the impulsive Prince, all will come to light.

/ OVERVIEW

Heavenly Vessel explores the fear of transformation and change. What's particularly exciting about this project is that it marks the directorial debut of Venla, who was the second person we hired when we started our studio. Seeing her growth as an artist and leader has been amazing, and we're proud to see her at the helm of this film. It's also the first short to come out of our development department
