Done in an illustration/comic style inspired from the cell animation tradition, Filfla is a self-funded work, done (Art, animation and editing) all by visual artist Fabrizio Ellul. 'Filfla' is turned into the 'Isle of the Dead' where spirits are trapped inside the Island by an evil creature. A woman fights her own grief in pursue of a boy, who holds the key to defeat this evil creature. Filfla, just like the spirits trapped within it, also seeks to be released. www.filfla.studio vimeo: https://vimeo.com/308981536 Pass: filfla.studio19 Press Kit: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uQdcnc0Jf_XHCEg7gCDrcGFn8LuhR84_ To download or further info please contact me on fabrizio.ellul@gmail.com
