Short film
An apprentice learns the three rules of the smithy. He will break the third one.

About
The rules are posted on the wall, in wood and in red paint, and like all good workshop rules each one was learned the hard way by somebody else. The apprentice intends to follow all three. The anvil, meanwhile, looks unexpectedly delicious.
Rule 3. Do not lick the anvil.
Made with a mix of traditional and generative tools — the forge is real in spirit, the Vikings are real in attitude, and the rules are binding.
