Mothman - Senior Thesis Short Film Production

A portrait artist moves into a decrepit home secluded in the forest that he finds is infested with moths. After getting fed up with the scourge of pests, he smashes a single moth that dares land on his painting. Divine punishment strikes as the artist is afflicted with a deathly curse that leaves him changed forever.

This is one of four senior capstone projects being produced by the University of Colorado: Denver 3D Animation BFA Class of 2024. I worked on the story pitch for this project with a story team starting in August 2022 and it was greenlit for production in January of 2023. It will be presented at the senior showcase in May of 2024.
