Humble is proud to present, Homunculus, the first of an annual series of
experimental films by our in-house directing collaborative, Hydra.
Conceived of and directed by Sam Stephens, Homunculus is a dark and
twisted fable of spontaneous generation and untrammeled id. Taking its
title from the Latin word for "Little Human", the piece is an
associative mashup between the two concepts behind the word: The first
being middle-age alchemical beliefs that "little men" could be
spontaneous generated from dead or decaying matter. The second being
Carl Jung's usage as a personification of pure id. These ideas, combined
with our love of Dutch still life's "beautiful decay," sowed the seeds
for this unique little monster of a film.
