While in pursuit of a suspect, private eye of Dead End City: Detective McCoy, crosses paths with a mysterious woman who calls herself AMA. What makes her special is that she is not from his world. Or his time. She’s from the future and she’s here to save him.
‘The Curious Case of Dead End City’ is a fish-out-of-water animated story that reshapes our ideas of the conventional film-noir genre while introducing futuristic concepts and above all, humour with a twist.
The short film was produced over a weekend for the 48 Hour Film Challenge In Cape Town, South Africa and was lit, textured, directed and rendered in Blender's game engine.
