THESIS

LANDFALL

  • LANDFALL

    Landfall  is a multimedia graphic novel that tells the story of two women — one a jaded paramedic and the other a reluctant gang member — who inadvertently cross paths and discover that they share a hidden secret. When a dangerous storm sets its sights on their island home of Galveston, Texas, the women have a chance to change each others’ lives for the better — but at a great risk.

    Landfall, which incorporates video, photo-illustration, sound, and music is designed to be a uniquely digital experience accessible on any device from a 27″ desktop iMac to a pocket-sized smart phone.
