Synopsis:
Overgrown is an emotional mood-piece asking an age-old question: What happens when love and hurt grows from the same place? When his garden, once a place of love and dedication, gets infected by bugs, a gardener finds himself faced with an impossible choice: to leave, and abandon all he’s been working for, or to stay, but at the cost of his own life.

Loa Frida: Loa
2022 16+ 4 min
by Melinda Kádár
Animated music video created for French-Polish band Loa Frida. The song talks about those moments when we’re not entirely sure which way is up. Since the clip had a small budget, we decided to create it as a series of looping vignettes, which add up to create one large, detailed image. Each vignette is meant to evoke some strange sensation that the song is talking about, without being too literal.
