Abattoir, U.S.A.! is a short film collaboration directed by Aria Dean. I constructed and animated the entire project in Unreal Engine 5 and rendered it into an 11 minute short. The intention of doing it with Unreal is that it is both the toolkit I am most comfortable in as well as it was made with the intent of having real time capabilities in the future screenings of it.
It was originally premiered in Aria Dean’s solo exhibition at The Renaissance Society in Chicago, it was recently featured at the New York Film Festival, has screened in Los Angeles, and has exhibited in Toronto Canada at the Power Plant.
Below are still frames from the film.
