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.
