When the catastrophic king Gilgamesh meets the grass-fed Enkidu, things don't go according to the clay tablets. A glumly slapstick take on the world's oldest tale, featuring doom, despair, deception, and sheep.

The Epic of Enkidu (2025) presents a hand-drawn riff on a Mesopotamian epic, animated frame-by-frame using a 15-year-old Cintiq and 4,000-year-old source material. Years in the making, Enkidu is now out painting film festival screens with cartoon hubris, mortality, monsters, and questions about what might have been lost in those fragments of clay.
