Production History
Grendel and the Gladiator
In his quest for cyber game victory, Brian is just too busy for anything else – even for his poor dog Max. With all this lack of attention things are starting to go haywire. All of a sudden, Brian is visited by a mythical warrior king who invites him to become a gladiator and slay Grendel, the evil monster.
Inspired by the mythical English tale Beowulf, Grendel and the Gladiator is an action packed adventure story leaping from the dark ages to futuristic cyber worlds of imagination and adventure. Marionettes, shadow and digital puppetry are the foundations to Brian’s quest to make things right.
