ABEY BABY is a short film with an Electronic-R&B score, based on the biblical tale of Abraham and Sarah being commanded by God to sacrifice their son Isaac. It is a two-person song-cycle, consisting of 12 shorts that connect to create a 40-minute musical film.
Abe directly addresses God, asking his boss to do him a solid and help Abe and his wife Sarah have a son. God grants his wish and Abe is ecstatic, but when Abe is told how he must return God’s favor, Abe desperately seeks a way to hold onto his newborn son, his wife, and his conscience.
