We worked with Guildfi to bring to life, Zigma. A game about a young group of warriors who protect a floating city orbiting a pillar of volatile energy.

Antoine Perez
/ OVERVIEW
The short marks the commercial directorial debut of our amazing Antoine Perez! The script writing stage was key on this one and it helped us steer the film towards a moodier and darker tone. This project was so much fun to make , the team was incredible! And the music... let’s talk about this music for a sec. How frigging authentic is that track?! We teamed up with the formidable Box of Toys and singer-songwriter Shihori, to create an absolutely perfect track that matches the film’s explosiveness.
