(trailer)

Prepare to dive into the depths of mystery, fear, and legend. “Kraken – The Awakening” is a short film set in the turbulent waters of the 1800s, following a daring crew on a voyage for fortune… but destined for doom.

In this chilling maritime tale, a band of sailors set sail toward a remote island rumored to hold gold, artifacts, and priceless treasures from three shipwrecks lost to the sea. Hopeful and hardened by the ocean, the crew believes they’re on the verge of unimaginable wealth. But the sea has its own secrets—and its own guardian.

On their first night ashore, as fog drifts in and the waves grow unnaturally still, something ancient rises from the deep.
A creature spoken of only in myth.
A force feared by sailors across generations.
The Kraken awakens.

What begins as a treasure hunt turns into a desperate fight for survival—one the crew cannot win. As the monstrous titan unleashes its wrath, the island becomes a graveyard, and the truth behind the sunken ships is revealed in blood-chilling fashion: no one escapes the Kraken.
