Monitor

An Animated Horror Short

A story of early parenthood that preys on the fears of new parents. Someone is always watching…

Monitor is an independent short film from Michael Berardini, a Director of Scrat Tales and Batwheels. The short is done in a unique style blending 2D characters in a 3D environment to give the entire film an illustrative quality. Batu Sener (Scrat Tales, Better Man) delivers a beautiful but haunting score while Jérémy Ben Ammar provides a quietly creepy soundscape.
