The Making of Eastward: Design Works – Part 1

We are super excited to share with you today, Lost in Cult’s new documentary ‘The Making of Eastward: Design Works – Part 1’. Yes, that means there will be more to come as the team follow the chapters of their Eastward: Design Works book.

Last year the wonderful team at Lost in Cult visited Shanghai to interview Pixpil about their inspirations, artistry, and to learn more about the wonderful people who came together to create Sam and John’s journey through a broken world.

In this first episode Lost in Cult sit down with Pixpil to talk about their backstory, check out artist Hong Moran’s early sketches, and take a seat with the folks at Souviens Ten-Zan, creators of Eastward’s iconic opening cinematic.

If you missed your chance to get hold of the gorgeous Eastward Design Works companion book, they’ve also reprinted 1,000 additional copies to celebrate Eastward’s 4th birthday! 🎂 Pre-orders are live at www.lostincult.co.uk/eastward.

Special thanks to Imogen May for (directing, producing, filming and editing) this incredible documentary series and Shaun Hughes for writing and editing the Design Works book in the first place. Finally, shout out to everyone who has helped support Lost in Cult over the years, from translators and animators, to sound designers and directors. You’re the best! 

Until next time!
