Project Description: Almost Gone is a dramatic animated series that dives deep into themes of grief, survival, and redemption. It tells the story of Alex, a young man haunted by memories of his friends who have tragically passed, and Zara, a stranger whose chance intervention pulls him back from the brink. Their meeting is one of desperation and courage, woven with an almost supernatural sense of fate. As they navigate their own pain and discover a tentative connection, they find themselves entangled in a journey where healing and understanding unfold in unexpected ways.
This project combines emotionally intense dialogue with moments of silence, action, and visual storytelling. Almost Gone is envisioned as a long-term project, with multiple videos and mini-projects centering on each character, building their depth and exploring new facets of their relationships over time. Each video and mini-project will be fully scripted, ensuring a clear narrative direction while allowing room for creative interpretation by voice actors.
