Musical Hallucinations

Short Film

A short film based on a Radiolab episode about music, memory, and what it means to be human.

Art Direction

Bold color, loose lines, and a sketchy, painterly style brought the feeling of nostalgic songs to the screen 🎶🎨. We blended warmth and emotion with a vintage sensibility—like a memory you can’t quite place.

Narrative Design

We broke the Radiolab episode down into its most resonant moments, shaping a script that preserves the heart of the original story while forming a clear emotional arc that works as a standalone short film.

Sound Design

Music, sound effects, and podcast VO were woven together into a rich, immersive sound bed 🔊—designed to pull you in, hold your attention, and make the story as powerful to listen to as it is to watch 🎧.
