Felix Colgrave's Animated Short 'Double King' Explores Power and Death
Felix Colgrave, born in Tasmania in 1993, has released 'Double King', a new animated short film that blends pastel colors with horror. The story follows a bizarre, greedy king who seeks to steal every crown he sees, journeying through unexplored lands and encountering incredible creatures, ultimately confronting the supreme king, Death. The film combines wild imagination with technical mastery, using a soft graphic style and subtle black humor. Colgrave also handled the sound design.
