The Linden Performer
2025 - Blender, Adobe Substace Painter
The Linden Performer is a 3D animated short film about a marionette who obtains sentience and begins to perform for audiences. Although she is bound by strings, she remains in control of the performances until her puppeteer decides that he wants some glory for himself. The short film dives into themes of bodily autonomy and power dynamics between performer and mentor.
This short film was created in collaboration with a team of 5 people with the purpose of being submitted to film festivals.
I was a part of the project as the art director, as well as the creator of the concept of the short film, ensuring consistent designs as well as creating most of the environments and assets in the film.
