Animation (Short Films) • 6m 1s

Directed by Howie Shia • Animation • 2015 • 7 minutes

A modern adaptation of the myth of Hercules, BAM tells the story of a young boxer struggling to negotiate between his shy, bookish nature and a divinely violent temper. Where does this rage come from? Is it psychological or environmental - or is it something altogether more primordial?
