‘The Green Ruby Pumpkin’ Enchanting Halloween Short Film

I dis­cov­ered this bril­liant lit­tle gem of a short film this morn­ing, which tells a Hal­loween fairy tale of sorts called “The Green Ruby Pump­kin.” It was cre­ated by visual effects artists  Miguel Ortega and Tran Ma who say this film was their pas­sion project, which is plain to see. It’s beau­ti­fully directed, full of bewitch­ing, dream-like imagery, and per­fectly cap­tures the enchant­ment of Halloween.

The style of it reminds me of one of those glitzy Walgreen’s Hal­loween com­mer­cials which is no bad thing. I noticed the title card is embla­zoned with “Madam Migna’s Tall Tales”–I won­der if we can look for­ward to more of these orig­i­nal fan­tasy film cre­ations? The artists have set up a Tip Jar on Vimeo if you’d like to con­tribute to their next film project. This one blew me away.
