Hughbert


Haunted by his ever-present fear of death, Hughbert soon finds that there is more than just fear haunting his humble home.

This is Mallory Dyer’s first year film made at Cal Arts in 2010. She drew inspiration from Edward Gorey and Edgar Allan Poe for the narrative tone of this film. Hughbert was her first real experience with animating and film making and was quite an experience.

It has been showcased in several film festivals now and the Cal Arts Producer's Show. The chillingly beautiful score was composed by her brother, Jarred McAdams.
