The second batch of still have arrived for The Curiosity Shoppe including images of The Umbrella Factory, and its infamous owner Cassandra Crane and even one of the three unlucky brothers, Roman Rook.
And if you haven’t seen our short film, The Umbrella Factory, you can watch it right here on the site!
The curtain pulls back just a bit further as we reveal the town of Dreary, the Curiosity Shoppe itself, and its connection to The Umbrella Factory, our delightfully dark short film from many years ago.
The Curiosity Shoppe:
Violet Grey runs a Curiosity Shoppe in the dismal town of Dreary, supplying monsters, curses, and magical fixes on demand. As a vicious umbrella-industry feud drags her into danger, Violet uncovers secrets tied to her missing father and a destiny she never expected.
We’re so excited to pull back the curtain on the next glimpse on The Curiosity Shoppe. Check out the Character Posters for the Curiosity Shoppe!
We’re so excited about our next three projects! Each of these is weaving together Live Action, Unreal Engine, and even experiments with artificial intelligence in new and exciting ways that we never dreamed possible.
As filmmakers we have always been excited about new ways to tell stories. Whether that was digital cameras, to FTP systems to share and review footage, to CGI and motion graphics. It leads us down new alleyways and adventures. It’s these exciting adventures that have led us to shoot in the middle of the desert, on the abandoned sets of old spaceships, tunnels and caves. It’s what lead us to begin exploring Unreal Engine integration, whether that was with robots, meta humans, or scanning props that we built and having them live in 3D environments that we could design.
The first project will take us to a world of curiosity, catacombs, and airships. A place where werewolves can have bad days, poison dart frog poison is sold by the vial, and explorer’s have business cards.
That project is The Curiosity Shoppe.
The next project is one that’s really close to our hearts, the fourth installment of The BackSpace Series. Returning to those characters and that world just gets more exciting each time and this next adventure is the most thrilling yet.
New adventures await. For some time now, we’ve been hard at work behind the curtain… dreaming up, building, and carefully crafting a slate of projects.
So let’s pull back the curtain, just an inch, on that first project.
Curious? We’re excited to announce The Curiosity Shoppe. Details remain wonderfully scarce for now, but consider this your invitation into a world where Umbrella Factories, Vampires, Werewolves, Airships, Antidotes and Poisons can all be found in the delightful town of Dreary.
