Those who vanish

Frame from our teaser

A 90-minute animated feature about a forgotten zoo, a fading city, and a desperate escape. Asphalt, a massive black bear, and a group of lost animals break free to find a world that has erased them.

Originally pitched at Cartoon Movie (2015), developed with stunning art direction and deep emotional storytelling.

Co-produced with Canada, featuring cutting-edge R&D on organic “concrete” fur.

The project paused in 2018, but the story is far from over—some things refuse to disappear. ✨

As Writer & Director, I developed this 3D animated feature, writing multiple drafts and refining the world, characters, and themes to explore aging, memory, and loss through a poetic adventure. 🐻
