The Backwater Gospel

Set in a small, god fearing community in the dust bowl during the 30's, The Backwater Gospel is the bachelor project of 8 students from the Animation Workshop.

Featuring a sinister undertaker who's presence is an omen of death, a one-legged, guitar playing tramp, and a preacher seeking to manipulate his parishioners, this short presents a delightfully creepy story with raw, gritty graphics which fits perfectly over a soundtrack on which Sons of Perdition performed.

A truly enjoyable 9min32, which I'm sure you'll love.
