COMING OF THE MESSIAH
The first-ever 3D animated series depicting the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Immerse yourself in this visually captivating Bible study, which brings the Old Testament to life and culminates in its fulfillment with the birth of Christ.
The Coming of The Messiah is the first ever nativity story produced as a 3D animated series. What makes this depiction unique is that we recall the account of Creation to identify humanity's real enemy and to reveal the real conflict which necessitated our Lord's coming.
This series explores God's original plan for creation, the rebellion of the angels, and the fall of humanity. The series continues the journey through the Old Testament personages that prefigure Christ, with twenty-four 45-minute episodes.
We showcase the principal characters of the Old Testament which foreshadow Christ, and which reveal a prophetic role fulfilled by Him. With Noah we encounter a new beginning; with Melchizedek we identify His priesthood; with Abraham we enter into covenant; with Isaac we foresee the need for a sacrifice; with Moses we experience deliverance, with King David we see the establishment of kingship and the Kingdom; with Elijah we witness the reality of resurrection. These prefigurements assist the viewer to appreciate the cohesive mosaic of the story of salvation, culminating with the coming of the Messiah.

ONCE UPON A PARABLE
A 3D animated series on the Gospel parables, structured in three parts: a faithful retelling of the Gospel, a modern-day parable that contextualizes the teachings, and a thoughtful explanation of the importance of applying these lessons in our daily lives.
There have been many productions made about the stories of the Bible, and even of the parables specifically. What sets this project apart is that each episode is divided into three segments.
Gospel Parable * Modern Parable * Mini Homily
Though these segments we aim to show the Gospel parables in a memorable way. Through the modern parable we seek to show Jesus' original teaching by means of everyday examples that today's youth can easily grasp and to which they can relate. “This mini homily” is meant to explain how the Gospel parables are important in a modern and practical context.
This project is in fact part of a much larger vision: We aim to animate all 156 Sunday Gospels of the three liturgical years used in the Catholic Mass. In this way we can create a visual study of the Gospels to prepare children and the family for Sunday liturgy.
MORAMEL
A 2D animated series set in a mystical realm where the invisible becomes visible during an epic journey of faith in search of the King. In the land of Moramel, one can see the characters’ souls and witness the profound effects of sin, virtue, and grace upon it.
Most theological fantasies have done a tremendous job at captivating audiences with rich storytelling and complex, yet relatable characters. However, it is not easy to link the symbolism portrayed to the underlying meaning without at least knowing some sound catechesis or basic theology. With this project, we seek to close this gap.
We start from the foundational desire to use entertainment as a conscious form of evangelization and catechesis. In imparting the Gospel message, our emphasis is on entertainment because it engages our audiences and makes them open to hearing the truths of the Faith. The actual catechesis happens as a natural byproduct of the entertainment.
It is easier for a person to receive a message when they feel they can relate to a character or situation in a story, rather than simply being lectured to. This is the principal characteristic that sets this fantasy story apart from conventional religious animations. We take great care to make it easy to connect theological ideas to our symbols so that our audience can see practical ways of how complex theological truths can be applied in every daily life. We put concepts into practice through story and characters.
