Erin Cosgrove’s short animation based on Ben Marcus’ forthcoming book The Flame Alphabet tells the story of a couple forced to isolate themselves away from their daughter following the outbreak of an epidemic in which the sound of children’s speech has become lethal. It’s an intriguing concept for a book, which is due for release on 17th January.
About the Author / MarBelle

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the multi-decade incarnation of this disorder and remains so much cheaper than film school.
