Brood X is an award-winning short film that explores the fascinating world of cicadas and the circle of life they embody with their 17-year dormant cycle. Through stunning visual meditations, viewers witness the remarkable transformation of these creatures as they emerge from the ground, mature, and ascend trees to procreate for one glorious and fleeting season that is all about them and their posterity.

Drawing a parallel to the human experience, Brood X portrays the struggle of an artist to free their spirit from the confines of their earthly existence.
