When the world ends, one man wakes—and the truth claws its way back through the cracks of his mind. In this episode, Matthew Warner, a rare breed of one‑man studio, takes us from a 5,000‑word horror seed to a chilling animated film made in a basement with a laptop, mo-cap suit and boundless imagination. As the Cryonic Pharaoh’s fractured reality unfolds—murdered companions, erased memories, and the question of what lurks in the bunker—Warner guides listeners through the eerie story and the surprising, hands‑on process that brought it to life.

Listen in for a storyteller’s journey that mixes DIY filmmaking, cutting‑edge tools like Unreal Engine and meta-human animation, and the creative grit that turns limited resources into unforgettable atmosphere. This is a conversation about creativity under constraint, the rise of new tools, and a haunting sci‑fi tale that proves one visionary can change the game.
