"Cursed Plot"
- Anthology (Feature-length)
Three shorts comprised into one feature-length anthology, surround three strong women from the past, present, and future. The stories are located on the same plot of land - oh, and did I mention the land is cursed?
​
Three separate acts spanning across genres (fantasy, horror, and sci-fi) are connected with a stop-motion animated framing sequence that ties them together.

With the Haggle Council on her back, she much figure it out quickly too.
ACT II
