O Deus e a Raposa
(The God and the Fox)

After losing her only friend Ana, priestess apprentice Mel spends her days alone, wandering the woods. Upon finding a fox that was turned into stone by an evil god, Mel receives the extraordinary opportunity to bring Ana back to life, in exchange for helping the fox regain freedom. Having to face the cunning fox, the deceptive cat, the spirit that lures wanderers into the woods, and the stern monk that belittles her, Mel will realize that nothing is free; every wish has a price to be fulfilled.

​

THE GOD AND THE FOX is a live-action fantasy short film that explores the imaginary of Japanese folklore in Brazil, a place that has the biggest Japanese colony in the world, mixing settings, themes and languages from both countries. Thanks to the huge distribution and popularity of anime, today these elements are part of the collective imagination of new generations of Brazilians - descendants or not.

​

Target audience:

Primarily children and teenagers who enjoy the fantasy genre, Japanese Culture and anime, mostly in the 7 to 16 age range, but without discarding young adults with the same interests since the film doesn't have a 'children's film esthetic'. This niche is not at all well explored in the Brazilian industry, not to mention the lack of productions in general for teenagers/young adults here.

During Anime Slate 2017, Netflix announced that Brazil is the country that watches anime the most, after Japan, which shows the audience is large.

Internationally, the potential is huge, especially in the US and Europe where audiences are already consolidated (according to Parrot Analytics, 2018).
