Muntjac
At the door of an ancient forest, Sinus loses his newfound friends, and descends into a frenzied trip towards the depths of his psyche. Blind wizards, clouds of bees, and giddy demons - all manner of evils await him in the shadows. In this darkness, will he ever find the elusive other half - Möbius?

Finn Darrell is a multidisciplinary artist, working across filmmaking, photography, performance art and stained glass. Finn grew up in rural Essex, UK and moved to London in 2018, studying animation at UAL for a year, before going on to study a BsC in psychology at King’s College London. Following this, they studied for a year at The New School in New York, all the while developing their creative practice. Finn has performed at an array of venues across London and New York, using visceral body modification techniques to explore themes of mental health, fetish, magic, Christianity, ritual and rebirth. Finn made their debut short film, Muntjac, during the pandemic in 2021, releasing it in 2023. The film examines the esoteric and archetypal through a distinctly queer lens, and has screened at festivals across the UK and Europe.
