I wrote a review of Captain Zero: Into the Abyss Part 1 in July. It left me wanting more and I was so impressed with it I pitched a part 2 to the team since the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes were happening. A couple months ago I announced I was officially on the team as co-producer. 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 here.
Here is my in my Captain Zero cosplay getting ready to watch the teaser.
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

I said I wanted more and guess what. You can watch the EXTENDED 8-Minute version with 3 minutes of additional footage exclusively on the website below.
