Central-Mart | animated short film, 2025

Six egoists and one store. Central-Mart is a dark comedy telling a story of few individuals who through their malice and ruthlessness fall into a spiral of absurd events. Their lives entwine and create a web of grotesque occurrences, mostly because of their egoism, slyness and ignorance. Regardless if they’re too picky, too cunning or too self-absorbed, every action pushes them towards an inevitable catastrophe.

MUD | animated short film, 2018

Young woman breaks up with her boring boyfriend after a walk through the swamp. When her heartbroken ex moves on, the woman’s life slowly starts to drown in resentment, grief and literal mud.

CHAINLETS | animated short film, 2016

The story of five people, who are seen as weirdos. What if their compulsions and obsessions have more sense than anyone would think? Perhaps they know something about the world that the rest of the people simply can’t see…
