To Build a Fire

Synopsis: 

 

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Jack London’s death, filmmaker Fx Goby adapts To Build a Fire, the famous novel by the American author.

To Build a Fire is an animated short film in 4K Cinemascope that tells the tragic tale of a man and his dog trying to survive in the overwhelmingly freezing and hostile nature of the Yukon Territory.

Enter into this polar western world, and experience the bitter cold whilst embarking on a sensory journey.
