Our team at The ART DEPARTMENT Eindhoven 2026
I fullfilled the role of a screenwriter, visual designer, puppet maker and partially animator.
Logline:
A Queen sits down to have a lavish dinner, but gets interrupted by an uninvited guest, who seems set on disturbing her carefully orchestrated peace.
What’s on your mind?
Our film is inspired by the concept of maladaptive daydreaming, escapism, and the feeling of losing control over your own narrative. The Queen escapes from a traumatic situation into a daydream of her own design. Here, everything is in her control, until a mysterious Fox man appears. His disruptive actions slowly bring down her perfect dream until finally, she snaps. Her world falls apart, and she is forced to confront reality. Will she be able to accept it this time, or revert to old habits and run from the consequences of her actions?
