Created at Guru Studio and Sheridan College, Hazed tells the story of a smokestack who just can’t help himself.

Hazed was originally my student film at Sheridan College, and then later at guru studio I led an awesome team in redoing the lighting, rendering and comping to bring it into lovely HD. Then we sent it out on its festival journey.
