“July’s Breath: The Aphelion Awakens”

my cold july .........the Earth reaches its farthest point from the Sun — the aphelion. Most ignore this quiet celestial event. But this year... it awakened something.

As summer should have scorched the land, an unnatural cold spreads across a small town. Frost forms on windows, breath fogs in the air — and from the heavens descends a creature born of silence and distance: the Aphelion Beast, a towering spirit of stardust and frozen wind.

One young soul, sensing the cosmic imbalance, uncovers a hidden truth buried in ancient texts — and holds the only relic capable of restoring warmth to the Earth.

"July’s Breath: The Aphelion Awakens" is a chilling yet beautiful animated short that blends folklore, astronomy, and emotion in a haunting tale about light, distance, and courage in the coldest of moments.
