Momocon returned to the Georgia World Congress Center Friday, May 24 – Monday, May 27. Momocon smashed its own attendance record with 55,867 unique visitors attending the convention during Memorial Day weekend. That represented a huge jump from 2023. There was a total of over 157,000 in attendance over the four days of the event. At Momocon I took some time to represent Captain Zero.
I pitched a part 2 for Captain Zero: Into the Abyss Part II to the Cutting Edge Animation Studio during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. I was officially introduced on the team as co-producer. The journey has been exciting this far. I am excited to be on this journey with Cutting Edge Animation. We launched a Kickstarter back in October to pay for the animation. It was successful and now I am pleased to announce the official teaser for part II is done
I was representing Captain Zero at MomoCon with Executive Assistant Lorre Jones. We participated in a press interview with press outlets and took some time to blindly show random people the teaser trailer and get their honest reactions.
We recently announced we have received a six-figure investment from Gala Games into making a full feature movie due to release in 2025. 2025 we will have the best animated movie of the year.
Here is the official teaser for part II is here.
STORY:
Framed through his therapy sessions, Xerxes Hughes must uncover the cause of his random blackouts in order to stop his depression demon–a physical manifestation of all his deep-seated insecurities in order to save his city and himself.
PROJECT SYNOPSIS:
Captain Zero: Into the Abyss Part II is a deeper dive into the world and psyche of Xerxes Hughes, a teen superhero who must uncover the cause of his random blackouts in order to stop his depression demon–a physical manifestation of all his deep-seated insecurities in order to save his city and himself. This sequel stars Angelica Ross, Keith David, Zolee Griggs, Coty Galloway, Marion Toro and Jazz Walker.
WHY:
Part one was animated by one animator. For Part 2 we want to create a Film that is bigger and better! And in order to do so we’re going to need a full team of animators to bring our vision to life. We’ve already managed to raise the funds necessary to hire our extremely talented Voice Actors, but all we need is the budget for our animator to make this thing a reality
