THE CLOSET
Directed by Thomas Walters and Charlotte Cousins
After almost a year working on this project, I am proud to now be able to share our short film 'The Closet'. Working both as co-director and animator on this project, I had the opportunity to both lead and animate with a small team of talented animators as well as oversee the art and design of the film. The film has been shortlisted for several film festivals so far and it can be watched in full here. Enjoy!

Here is some concept art and test renders from the The Closet during production. This film was animated in Maya and rendered in Unreal Engine. Everything has been modelled, rigged textured and animated from scratch by our team.
The story follows Quinn, a young teenager who is 'in the closet' about his sexuality. One evening, his wardrobe bursts open behind him and reveals to Quinn The Closet Zone - a place where Quinn will have to confront all his fears about being 'out'. Take a look at the concept art and WIP renders from the film!
