A Webflow to Framer migration and website overhaul for pliability, the #1 mobility app in the world. Custom code components, scroll animations, CMS-driven landing pages for campaign launches, and over 400 CMS items migrated from Webflow.
pliability provided the new website design, and @Mason Price and I brought it to life in Framer. Huge shoutout to Mason for collaborating; he has the highest level of mastery when it comes to Framer development.
This is beautiful!
Excited to officially submit my entry for the Cantina Challenge — a psychological horror short titled Mira.
The spark for this project came from a simple, unsettling image that stuck in my head: what if the emotional weight you carry literally detached from you and stayed in the room? I wanted to translate that internal feeling of isolation into a visual reality without relying on heavy dialogue or classic horror tropes.
Project Title: Mira
Core Thesis: "Not looking back doesn't mean you're not still carrying it."
The Concept: Mira is a short psychological thriller pilot that explores the heavy, invisible weight of unresolved emotional trauma. Rather than relying on standard horror tropes, cheap dialogue, or jump-scares, the story relies entirely on grounded visual storytelling, non-verbal shadow choreography, and high-tension environmental audio.
The Protagonist: Mira
Trapped in a cycle of isolation and avoidance, attempting to project a calm exterior while her internal state deteriorates.
Key Visual Mechanics: A dynamic phone typing interaction where text messages act as a gateway to her internal state, leading up to a chilling moment where her shadow literally detaches from her body — anchored to the living room while she moves forward.
The Climax: A quiet, suffocating sequence where the ambient space collapses into total darkness, leaving her face-to-face with what she's been running from.
Why I Created This: I've always believed that every person carries immense quiet value, but when unaddressed trauma isolates us, we lose sight of our own worth. I wanted to build a character study that honors that internal struggle visually.
This is a blend of: Psychological Thriller + Surreal Character Study + Minimalist Environmental Horror.
Narrative engine: Emotional Isolation --> Unspoken Tension --> Visual Distortion --> Psychological Climax
Where I would take the series next:
Episode 1 is The Room. The engine is one locked apartment, one locked Mira, 10 visual metaphors for grief.
Episode 2 - the shadow that stayed behind now moves when she doesn't.
Creator Studio Feedback:
What worked well - precise low-key lighting, atmospheric sound design, micro-expressions.
Challenge — temporal asset consistency for the brown sofa, and precisely preserving her exact silhouette (hair, shoulder line) through the shadow's turn across frames.
Suggestion — location colour lock + shadow-direction/shape control for finer silhouette fidelity.
Confirmation: Created end-to-end in Cantina. Original work, one submission.
spooky! nice job
