NAKED // Thungry

NAKED is a good way to describe this kind of project. It begins as a completely blank canvas - no sound design, no music - just a storyboard and team of fellow creatives chatting about what it COULD be. Then we work, iterate, chat some more, tinker, until it becomes the thing we all had in our heads.

Composers: Timo Elliston, Nick Cipriano + Brian Jones
