Christos Bourantas is an architect, animator and digital artist. He has a passion for telling stories and conceiving new worlds.

A young girl drifts through the dark, empty city on a lonely journey. Fragments of her past unfold the story of an unusual phenomenon to which her life is bound: a worldwide jellyfish outbreak.
The concept was conceived in 2010, drawing inspiration from a news article regarding the overgrowth of jellyfish population in the Mediterranean, which became the core narrative, while the dystopian vision of the city of Athens provided the essential background. Within almost five years of production, we had the chance to employ various techniques (2D, 3D animation, rotoscoping, etc.) and narrative forms.
