An animated short inspired by a long-abandoned student film draft, resurrected nearly a decade later. Russ has spent years consumed by the legend of the Horseman — a serial killer who stalks the city behind a grotesque horse mask. What began as curiosity has hardened into obsession, isolating him from the world around him. When Russ finally uncovers a lead that points to the killer’s hidden lair, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. Joined by his loyal friends Isaac and the enigmatic THUNDERBIRD, Russ descends into a confrontation that is as psychological as it is physical. As long-buried fears surface and the truth behind the Horseman comes into focus, Russ must decide whether solving the mystery will bring closure… or complete the very story that has consumed him.
