Exploring silence and absence in sci-fi animation
Hi, I’ve been developing a retro sci-fi animated film for quite some time, and I’ve been trying to approach it in a slightly different way. Instead of focusing on exposition or constant action, I’m interested in how much can be conveyed through absence, environments that still function, but feel emp...

Writer focused on darker, character-driven stories
Hi everyone.
I write psychological horror and grounded sci-fi, mostly centered on family dynamics and uncomfortable emotional territory.
Currently sharing a feature that leans into those themes pretty heavily.
Looking forward to connecting with people working in similar spaces.
This script goes DARKER than you may be used too.
