Creator's statement
In Absentia evolved with a curiosity for exploring off-kilter tales, the examination of unsettling dreams and the acknowledgement of the fears and wonder that fill our minds and imagination. A strong nostalgia for TV shows like The Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories and The Outer Limits inspired us to take our vision and bring it to fruition with this project. Discussions concerning the impermanence of things people take for granted led us to a single concept, a connecting thread: absence. What happens when something, material or intangible, vanishes from our lives? In developing a classic style anthology series, we aimed to construct a unique identity highlighted by distinct color palettes that are integrated into the sets, costumes, and the worlds of each character and stories we portray. This is only the beginning of the journey because we have many more tales to tell. We feel passionate about In Absentia and are excited to share our vision with you.
