Christopher At Sea: Watch The Full Trailer For The Queer Animated Short

Posted on by

 

British filmmaker Tom C. Brown’s upcoming short film with Psyop, Christopher at Sea, is a queer, nautical thriller already will be making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September. The film follows Christopher (James Potter) as he embarks on a transatlantic voyage on a cargo ship with hopes of finding out what lures so many men to sea and it sets him on a journey into solitude, fantasy, and obsession.
Dubbed a “visionary queer director” by OUT Magazine, Brown is known for his signature, hand-drawn, animation style and story-first creative approach. Christopher at Sea immerses viewers into an artistic, visual experience around themes of identity and self-discovery. This latest project from Brown is yet another example of the creative driven director’s significant and influential work in the LGBTQ+ community.
“’Christopher at Sea’ is a queer operatic thriller set to the emotive music of Schubert’s 1823 song cycle ‘Die schöne Müllerin’ alongside contemporary music from Casey Spooner, Walt Disco, and the film’s composers Brian McOmber and Judith Berkson,” commented Brown. “Twenty minutes of sumptuous hand-drawn animation awaits the viewer, the combination of thousands of hours, years of love, and an incredible team of artists and collaborators bringing Christopher to life on open waters.”

It was announced today that the short film “Christopher at Sea” will have its world premiere at the prestigious Venice Film Festival (August 31 – September 10).
