Matilda is a real-life tale about a pig that escaped from her farm to deliver her piglets in the forest. However, she was eventually captured and returned to captivity, leading to a significant public outcry that would ultimately alter Matilda's and her piglets' fate.

The short film was made using Unreal Engine, employing an original and innovative workflow crafted by our team to achive the highly stylized look.
