BullSpider

BullSpider is a Story Sparrow Collaborative project. This film was created by Makena Schwab and Sophie Erickson and is a short stop motion horror film that has been in production for the last year. The film follows young Phoebe as she ventures into a maze she finds in the forest. She soon discovers this labyrinth is not what it appears to be as she is soon hunted by something lurking within.

BullSpider is an exploration into dark fantastical storytelling with the aid of highly technical puppets and set design. BullSpider originated from a dream, which then guided the nightmarish mood and tone which appeared in the final rendered film.
