We are thrilled to announce that we are starting pre-production on the short film There Might Be Nothing Here, directed by Natália Azevedo Andrade!

Check the teaser below.

https://vimeo.com/886435735

Short synopsis:
Sitting amid a shipwreck, surrounded by strange outer space life, Rizz is catatonic. Until she sees Carla.
Carla’s self-confidence, and the instruction she receives from a radio, guide them both through a hostile and indifferent world. Rizz depends on someone very different from herself to accomplish a mission she doesn’t understand. As space shifts frustrate them and Carla’s predictions fail, her faith crumbles.
Alone in this world, the probability of finding what they seek is nonexistent.

Direction: Natália Azevedo Andrade

Animation: Natália Azevedo Andrade & Gábor Mariai
Soundtrack: André Aires Augusto
