The Mill teamed up with Director Daniel Askill to help craft the hauntingly beautiful short film, Universal Machine. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the film follows a gifted young girl that must find a way to understand and overcome a violent encounter with a life-like android. Mill Colourist, Matt Osborne, added a simplistic and elegant grade to compliment the film.
Matt Osborne comments, “It was a dream to be able to work with Daniel on this wonderfully surreal and beautiful film. We made a point to lean into a more delicate grade, rather than something that was too strong. Pastel skies and sandy tones seemed to compliment the film and the soundtrack by Philip Glass, seamlessly."
