"Every act of creation, has a price"

Intro:

The Quinta's Ghost is an animated horror short film based on the last years of Francisco de Goya's life when, isolated in his newly acquired country house
he spent his days and nights creating the now infamous Black paintings in its walls. This is a film that aims to shepherd animation into new and terrifying genre, paying homage to the classics of horror to push the medium into an intimate and profound reflexion on mortality and the price of making art.

The Quinta's ghost is directed by James A. Castillo and co-produced by Martirio films and Illusorium

Synopsis:

In 1819, an exhausted Francisco de Goya retires to “La Quinta del Sordo” to spend his final days away from public life and focused on his work. Unfortunately, in the deep solitude of that modest country house, the painter falls seriously ill. Closer to death than ever before, Francisco de Goya is visited by the ghosts of his past. Tormented by these visits and with his health rapidly declining, Goya paints the Black Paintings on the walls of his home as a last resort to drive the ghosts out of his life—losing almost everything in the process, including his sanity and nearly his life.
