Brought to life with amazing computer animation and marvelous visuals, \u201cGeist\u201d centers on a lone sailor who, after a ship wreck, finds himself lost in a vicious storm. When he finally finds a small cottage on a hill he seeks refuge for the night, hoping to regain his senses and warm up.<\/p>\n<p>But all is not what it seems within the cottage, as someone or something else lurks in the dark crevices of the house, prompting the sailor to go looking for his watcher before it\u2019s too late. Before long, he begins remembering his ill fated ship wreck and what brought him to the island initially. Directors Alex Sherwood, Ben Harper, and Sean Mullen create a vivid and very eerie short film that doesn\u2019t rely on jump scares or shocks. It\u2019s instead very reliant on the mood and blankets of darkness to keep the mystery of the unknown the most terrifying aspect of \u201cGeist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trio of directors relies on the unseen and unknown until the very end where our true view of what\u2019s unfolded is a tragic glimpse at the concepts of fate, and destiny. I can\u2019t say enough about the wonderful animation pulled off by Giant Animation Studios who build a very vivid world and dreamlike landscapes surrounding our character that may or may not be natural at all. Whoever says animation is only for kids and families really has never seen what indie filmmakers can do with bold ideas and complex themes about loss and death.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/174544848\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Giant Animation Studios comes \u201cGeist,\u201d a magnificent and eerie animated film that explores the fall out from a tragic event and how one man comes to terms with it.
