If your quarantine fatigue includes a growing aversion to be-nice-to-each-other messages, Swiss director/animator Lorenz Wunderle and the crew at YK Animation in Bern have the perfect antidote.

Lorenz’s first short film since graduation, “Coyote” is a skewed hyper-revenge tale and packs it’s 10-minute running time with enough hallucinogenic gore to last those with delicate dispositions a lifetime.

Producer Ramon Schoch at YK Animation: “An interesting part of ‘Coyote’ was that we never worked with a written script. Instead, we drew a lot and created a visual language to work on the story.

“Having such a great artist as Lorenz, it was the best pre-production workflow for the project. During production, the team all developed small funny details which we included in the final short.”
