Film and Animation
In 2026, our team produced five original short films that were showcased at our second annual screening event! We are excited to announce that these projects will all be available on our new YouTube channel soon!
Set in 1944 Northeastern Siberia during the decline of the Great Patriotic War, 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖 follows the sentence of Soviet Corporal Gennady Tischenko (Wyatt Hanson) as he ventures to slay a monster that has escaped from a secret human-experimentation research facility. The film features a talented cast and crew, including voice actors Igor Hochlowkin (BBC Radio, Total War: Rome Remastered), and Anton Aksonov.
«…Геннадий Тищенко, за совершенное вами преступление вам поручается убить химеру, которая сбежала отсюда примерно два дня назад. Если вы потерпите неудачу, вас также отправят в тюрьму…»
Derealization is a short mood piece created by Landon Zientara, starring Jack Esselman and featuring a narration by Wyatt Hanson. Landon Zientara is a music composer, fantasy author, and film producer. His works include original short films, concert music, and original scores for various feature films, shorts, commercials, and theater productions.
This original animation, depicting a scene from our debut dark fantasy novel, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙚, was created by Rex Weyers, and features the seven knights who were trained on Ní Lorída during the Great War Before. You can check out more of Rex’s work on his YouTube channel!
Landon Zientara wrote the screenplay for 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙚 and wrote original music for this animation earlier this year. Then, the music was recorded by the UWRF Cinema Symphony Orchestra in April at our second annual screen scoring recording session.
