“For Grável & Glöry” Enters Development with Global Creative Team, Actively Seeking Funding for Next Production Phase.

Award-winning director and animator Alli Sadegiani announces that his new animated short / pilot project, For Grável & Glöry, is officially in development, with a growing international team of artists attached and active development underway.

For Grável & Glöry is a surreal animated mockumentary blending deadpan humor with poetic melancholy. Set in an isolated village and centered around a strange annual competition, the film follows Lars and explores rituals, grief, obsession, and the things we hold onto for far too long. The project is an absurd yet emotionally grounded satire, reflecting on resistance to change and the fear of the unknown.

The project is currently advancing through early artistic development, visual exploration, and world-building, while seeking funding and co-production partners to support the next phase of production.
