    paper Once There Was Darkness

    In a newly born universe, two brothers are created by a powerful deity with a common goal: to protect a little planet. Where one brother shines, the other struggles to do anything right. Will his chaos eclipse his brother’s light, or will deeper meaning be found in his shadows?

    This film is the result of months of work, and I couldn’t have done it without an incredible team.
