THE CHAINED — a whisper in the dark

         Chains whisper in the darkness of Black Rock…
        Deep within its forgotten tunnels, a faint murmur stirs the silence.
       He spent years listening to the voices.
      Perhaps now… it’s time to answer them.

THE CHAINED is a short film born from a much larger universe I’ve been building for several years. This project marks an important milestone — where ideas leave the page and come to life on screen.

It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible work of Leo Guldemann, who brought the character to life through animation, and ERLIK, who crafted the haunting sound design that breathes through every frame. A special thanks as well to those who lent their voices — or their hums — to the echoes of this world.

THE CHAINED is more than just a short film — it’s a glimpse into a deeper story, the first step into a larger world.
