“The Weighing of the Heart”
Animated Short Film
Direction: Laura M. Weber and Rosemarie E. Benson
Runtime: 00:06:15
For thousands of years Anubis, the ancient Egyptian Guardian of the Underworld, has performed the Weighing of the Heart. Once however the Scales of Justice cannot decide whether the heart is good or bad. Anubis must prove himself against Ammit, a crocodilian goddess, thereby becoming the true God of the Dead.
“The Weighing of the Heart” is the bachelorfilm Rosemarie Benson and I worked on in our final year and finished it the next year, on our own, after graduation.
