The Brym

2016 · 4 min

A brief, unsettling plunge into myth and possession, more dreamlike than narrative, leaving an eerie aftertaste.

Overview
Inspired by Celtic poetry, Northern folklore, and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, the self-described “fucked-up fable” tells a tale of a supernatural oceanic entity. When this mysterious power possesses a man, he torments the inhabitants of a small seaside town before falling in love with a young woman and conceiving a cursed half-spirit child.
