MORT. takes place in modern day suburbs. Mort spends his days routinely getting his mail and moving people on to the next life. Despite his love for humanity, relationship, and life in general, Mort is cursed with the touch of death. Desperation to create causes Mort to find solace in an old rundown theater, where he plays a waltz of his own design. Music is the one thing he is able to create and not destroy. Music is also what brings the one person who might have the power to overcome his curse to his doorstep.
Mort. was created as my senior thesis at Biola University. We created it for under $5,000 with a team of about 15 total.
