Director's Statement Creating ISOTOPIA has been a labor of love years in the making. Without the help of an animation team, everything you see, from the characters to the background, has been hand-drawn by myself. Under its cartoony surface, ISOTOPIA is about adapting to and navigating through a strange, confusing, and sometimes dangerous new world. It's about nostalgia for the past and accepting change, no matter how difficult. It might be the end of the world, but it’s just the beginning for ISOTOPIA. It is my hope that the story will continue after the credits roll. I’d like to thank all who supported me in crafting this film, especially Aaron Kenny and Keller McDivitt, whose original music and sound design elevate this film to heights I never could’ve imagined. I am thrilled to present ISOTOPIA to you for your consideration. Enjoy! |
