Egg
A microscopic tale of epic tragedy. One pea-sized pirate quests to slay his golden nemesis in this surrealistic, stop-motion animated retelling of Herman Melville's Moby Dick. A fully realized animation, full of conflict and tension, that makes perfect narrative sense while defying all common sense.
Pinocchio
The film was directed by Giuliano Cenci with assistance from his brother Renzo. During production, Carlo Collodis grandchildren Mario and Antonio Lorenzini were consulted. The subtle movements made by fidgeting children whilst speaking or under scrutiny were incorporated into Pinocchios movements, particularly when he lies to the Fairy with the Turquoise Hair over the fate of his gold coins. For the design of the Fairy, Italian portrayals of the Blessed Virgin Mary in art were used as starting points.

A mysterious thief has stolen the prosperous Happy Valley's most prized possession: the musical Singing Harp. Can Mickey, Donald, and Goofy find the answer in the irritable Willie the Giant's magnificent castle up in the blue sky?
The Visit
THE VISIT is an intimate stop-motion short film about a young girl’s growing-up years and her relationship with her incarcerated father.
