Crypto-Candida movie trailer

Have you ever wondered where dreams come from? Do they bubble up from memories and subconscious desires? Are they created by elves, witches, and fairies? Yes. All of the above. And those elves, witches, and fairies have dreams too, and so do the creatures they encounter in their dreams, and so on. In a dark and mysterious realm called the Nothing, an elf named Crypto is just doing his job, producing content for mortals' dreams. But he wishes he was somewhere else, a world of color and music-- ...

Crypto-Candida Part 5: Crypto's Dream

In which Crypto journeys to the lower levels of the Nothing, and engages the help of some old friends to bring about the restoration of Fairyland.

Crypto-Candida Part 4: Crypto-Artemisia

In which Crypto, disilusioned with the Nothing but inspired by a new muse, eats a potentially deadly fruit for a chance at transformation. Features a disquieting encounter with Mother Nature, the downfall of Jerry the Scarab Beetle, and Candida's performance in the Nothing.

Crypto-Candida Part 3: Crypto-Soren

In which Crypto reveals his origins, and those of the Nothing.

Crypto-Candida Part 2: Irene's Dream

In which, by the design of the fae folk, Sebastian's best friend Irene joins him in dreaming to guide him home, but only after befriending a witch and attending a highly colorful concert in Fairyland. Noted also for its hookah-smoking cat and bunny, and for the deceptively seredipitous meeting of Crypto and Artemisia. Includes the wise and worthwhile entr'acte featuring Dr. Ralph. L. Owl.
