Transmission is my thesis film from the School of Visual Arts. It’s about a creature, Quad-Clops, and his dog, 2D, after they find a radio in the barren post-apocalyptic wasteland that is their home, and their journey to find new life.

Featuring music by Chris Roberts (aka Orca Life)
Sound design and mix by Mike Westbrook
