Why follow this studio

The Awarehouse Studio released Nix, a folk-horror short based on the Swedish water spirit Näcken. It took second place in Curious Refuge’s 2026 AI Horror Film Competition. The film’s credit card names Cedric Acketoft Sjöberg, Anton Ariki, Patrik Thornell and Christian Thornell. Curious Refuge credits Christian Thornell, so the studio is listed here as the shared credit rather than any single director.

The studio presents Nix as the pilot for an anthology of Swedish folklore. Its channel also carries spec ads, short tales and trailers it describes as made for SVT, which are not catalogued here. The X profile is the one linked from the studio’s own showreel description.
