Soyul

Freelance mudang. Talismans, a transfusion bag of blood, one engraved revolver. Diagnosis is free. Exorcism is not.

Bora on a mountain trail

Bora

Soyul's partner. Along for every job, whether Soyul admits she needs her or not.

The wraith in a black hanbok, head bowed in the forest

The Wraith

Late Joseon. A widow wronged, a child taken. She still dances in the forest, blades in hand.

A black box with a butterfly in relief

The Box

Black wood, a single butterfly in relief. What's inside could end a dragon. Nobody knows how to open it.

03 — Studio

We pick up what
got thrown away.

Every studio has a bin of crumpled drafts — the ideas that were too strange, too small, too much. Uncrumpled Pictures flattens them out and shoots them anyway.

Live-action images with a comic-book grammar. Stories with something to say that never take themselves too seriously. Made in Korea, for everyone.
