In this futuristic fairy tale spun from a classic of the past, Mezmer the Alchemist reimagines the Pied Piper in a post-apocalyptic world, presented in vintage silent film style. After a cataclysmic event, a “new normal” life resumes in Dogtown. However, creatures mutated by the apocalypse are seen as a nuisance and the townspeople rally the mayor find a solution, who seeks out the help of an alchemist named Mezmer. Mezmer agrees to fix the problem... for a price. When the deal goes sour, Mezmer uses his magical influence to teach the townspeople a lesson they will never forget. A short, multimedia, stop motion moving picture, produced and developed by Kellie Anderson.
Kellie Bio.
After years spent working abroad, Kellie chose to make Nova Scotia her home in 2017 and open Stray Dog Art House, an art workshop/gallery in Mahone Bay. A globally accomplished artist with a 25 year background in film production and design, Kellie pooled the gamut of skills and hands-on experience which she acquired in the trenches to develop an art space designed to engage the imagination. Kellie has also taught film at the postgraduate level in British Columbia, elementary school art in Nova Scotia, and holds certificates from OCAD, UWO, and USC.

“History of the Laboratory - Located in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Stray Dog Art House is a workshop based art space that does things a little differently, a little edgier, a little bit against the grain. We believe that art is what an artist produces and an artist is anyone with an intent to create.”
