About

Odin, the king of Asgard, was plagued by nightmares. Three fearsome figures haunted his dreams: a massive, writhing shadow; a shambling, rotting corpse; and worst of all, a monstrous beast with a deadly bite. Though their true forms were unknown to him, he could tell they were related to Asgard's most persistent problem: Loki. Iseult Gillespie details the myth of Loki's secret children. [Directed by Layron DeJarnette, Gumboyo, narrated by Susan Zimmerman, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
