About

Mothlitlabs is a small film lab drawn to the light of strange, wondrous stories — the kind that flutter at the edge of the ordinary and refuse to leave.

We develop shorts and films from first flicker to final frame: writing, directing, and editing tales that are equal parts eerie and enchanting.
