Short film: Spice Frontier – Escape from Veltegar

June 4, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It seems weird and wrong to recommend a 30-minute animation that tells 3/4rds of a story… but I wouldn’t do it if Spice Frontier – Escape from Veltegar wasn’t worth every minute.

July 27, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
