Synopsis: Haunted by a glimpse of Death in the form of a black dog, a man embarks on a desperate search across the Sussex landscape to ask a single, unanswered question.
About the Filmmaker: Sussex-based filmmaker Seb Cox blends animation and live-action to explore the integration of myth and reality. After a career in live-action and visual effects, Seb transitioned to illustrated animation, seeking to expand his storytelling horizons.
His debut feature, ‘Are We Monsters,’ premiered at FrightFest, and was the animator for the internationally recognised ‘Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey’ films. Currently in production on his second feature, ‘You Just Lost The Game,’ a hybrid of animation and live-action, Seb has also returned to his roots with his debut fully animated short film, ‘The Dog in the Long Grass.’
Seb’s approach to animation is deeply informed by his background in physics, allowing him to create movements that are both fluid and grounded in a sense of naturalism. He seeks to use animation to bring folklore and personal narratives to life, inviting audiences to explore the hidden depths of the world around them.
