Zero

Christopher Kezelos

Born into a world of numbers, an oppressed zero discovers that through determination, courage, and love, nothing can be truly something.

Why we chose this film.

Loneliness is not always interpersonal. It can also stem from systemic exclusion, marginalization, and prejudice. Through a unique animation style, innovative concept, and compelling narration, this film highlights the power of connection to improve the wellbeing of individuals and entire communities.

Inspiration

I was interested in working on a project that could explore racism, bigotry, and judgment through the highly digestible medium of animation. These themes remain prevalent and far too common in our society. I wanted to help create something that gently reminds audiences of the immense beauty and love in our world if we choose to open our eyes to it. I believe everyone, at some point in their life, has felt isolated or disenfranchised from their peer group or their own kind in some way, and I think audiences will be able to identify with Zero’s need to find his place.
