PENANCE

“If you look for the light you will often find it, but if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see.”

Something is taking shape in the dark corners of our studio. Penance is our next project — a story about the weight of guilt and the choice between what you seek and what finds you. Details are being kept close for now. Watch this space.
