A cathartic tale of the freelance journey
A young hopeful Knight reports for duty at the King’s court. Little does he know that slaying dragons might not be his biggest challenge.
“Freelance” is a comedy that deals with themes of resilience, professional frustration, mental health and work ethic.
Luciano A. Muñoz Sessarego, TUMBLEHEAD and Friends™️ collaborated to create this short animated film that aims to entertain audiences with a funny, relatable story using a carefully crafted aesthetic.
