KEEP

We follow a lighthouse keeper’s journey in their sacrificial attempt to keep beloved beacons alive. Rooted in a love letter in absentia, this short animation poetically re-enacts the stages of a broken heart, after it finds itself in a void of sudden nothingness.

Our debut short, “Keep,” is a passion project—born from Ramona's impulse, crafted with soul in our studio over 3 intense months' time.
Keep had its debut at the prestigious Dok Leipzig Film Festival, before touring around the world.

On this path, they come across broken down lighthouses, remnants of love lost and hope faded. At each encounter, they attempt to salvage what is now broken, to revive these beacons with the only tool at their disposal: their own life force.

Step by step and lighthouse by lighthouse, the character reaches their own state of dissolution, acceptance, and, ultimately, closure.
In their wake, the light keeps burning, leading the way, warning from danger, signaling shelter.
