Synopsis: If there’s one thing farmer Olga loves more than her pet pigs, it’s a pork chop.
When the pigs she butchers find that they can still influence events on the farm after their deaths, a vicious circle begins.
A fable about the price of greed and short-sighted thinking.
A short film by Thirza Ingold.
In a media landscape dominated by major studios and corporate algorithms, a small but passionate collective of creators is proving that there’s still room for independent, creator-driven animation to shine.
Enter StarBreaker, a bold sci-fi animated series born from Latin America’s burgeoning animation scene. Heavily inspired by anime classics like Robotech and Gundam, StarBreaker is a passion project that has defied the odds — developed on a micro-budget and driven by a team that refused to let financial limitations get in the way of powerful storytelling and visual ambition.
After four years of production struggles, StarBreaker is fully completed — a rare feat in indie animation. The series comprises four action-packed 24-minute episodes, featuring dynamic mecha battles, cosmic stakes and a uniquely Latin American narrative voice. All that’s left now is to produce an English dub and manufacture the DVD and Blu-ray editions, bringing the story to a wider global audience.
But what is StarBreaker about?
