AFTERDARK - Comedy Thriller Thesis Film
Project Overview
Trapped in an abandoned shopping mall, two boys bide their time until it’s safe to journey home after dark.
AFTERDARK Is a 2-3 minute Sheridan 2D animated thesis film set to complete around May! It’s a Comedy Sci-Fi Thriller that introduces us to 12 year olds Charlie and Se Jun…and their struggles growing up in post-apocalyptic Toronto. Can they make it back home before sunrise?
Acting as both my thesis film and a teaser for the 166 page comic release of SYSTEM REBOOT (my comic series in which Charlie and Se Jun are the protagonists) I’m looking for VAs to help me give some life to these beloved characters :)
With a dedicated fanbase of 130k across Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube, the SYSTEM REBOOT fandom is dying to see these two animated, and I am dying to animate them!
Thank you for taking a look at my thesis project, you can find the full concept booklet for this film and my comic work over on my Instagram @skysskape!

LEAD ROLE!
EQUIPMENT: Please have any professional / high quality large-diaphragm condenser microphone. This role requires whispering and nervous breathing.
Se Jun is an overly energetic and ever so annoying 12 year old boy. Endearingly stupid, he is a fun and comedic balance to Charlie‘s stoic and serious nature. He’s a kid with no survival instincts in the middle of an apocalypse.
Since he’s a pre teen, Se Jun should sound on the cusp of puberty, not too high or too low. Bonus points if you can make him sound believably squeaky. I’m open to other interpretations of his voice too!
Aim for a slightly grounded line delivery.

Charlie is an exhausted 12 year old boy trying to keep himself (and his best friend Se Jun) alive for the night. The only brains of the operation, Charlie has a short temper only growing shorter with Se Jun’s antics. Here’s to hoping his no-nonsense attitude will get them home by sunrise.
