Why Watch? If this is just a thesis project, Phillip Simon and Alyse Miller have an excellent career ahead of them. In this animated short, a goth girl summons up a demon from hell to kill her bubbly blonde nemesis with fire-breathing. What she gets, is the most adorable demon in the Nether Realm.
Very cute, very funny, this short is the kind of thing you could see DreamWorks placing before Despicable Me 2 (or even expanding into an entire feature). The short version? It’s pro-level work from a strong group of amateur storytellers. The people demand more.
No wonder io9 featured it. Hat tip to them as well.
What will it cost you? Only 4 minutes.
Skip work. Watch more short films.
