Marty Müller, nicknamed Jahoda, is a Digital Arts student at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, specializing in hand-drawn 2D animation, sound design, and video games.
Müller works as a director and writer of animated short films. He takes an active role in production, guiding projects from early concept development to their premiere on the festival circuit.
PROMETHEUS 3000 was a one-month production experiment that became my first project I created as a student at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, in the Digital Arts Studio.
The themes of the film revolve around the human body, mind, and their decay in the context of eternity. Inspiration for the name came from the Greek myth of Prometheus that tells a story about a man forsaken to take punishment for eternity. In a similar way, the protagonist of my film is forsaken to live forever, which in itself becomes an existential punishment.
