The Seeding, the new film from director Barnaby Clay, has a brand new dark but beautiful poster from artist Akiko Stehrenberger. The film is a chilling exploration of human nature wrapped in the guise of a twisted fable. While Clay is a relative newcomer to the world of feature films, he brings a wealth of experience from the world of music videos and art installations, which is evident in the film’s unique visual style and unsettling atmosphere. Clay describes The Seeding as dealing with “big themes” in a “small, contained way.” This approach creates a sense of claustrophobia and intensity that draws the audience into the characters’ world and their struggle for survival. The film’s setting, a remote desert canyon, further amplifies this feeling of isolation and vulnerability. Clay’s comparison of the film to a “brutal adult version of a children’s story or fable” is apt. The film’s narrative structure and simple themes are reminiscent of fairy tales, but the
