Missing Waves
2D Animation
Missing Waves is a hypothetical short film that follows a brother and sister who live in a usually vibrant summer shore town in New Jersey. However, once all the tourists leave, the previously lively town becomes quiet and empty. As the winter rolls in, they traverse the beach, a past time to fill the vacant hours, where they stumble upon a radio with an unearthly, alien message. Driven to discover its origins, they are led on a journey through the empty town to find the radio’s owner and return it home. This discovery will raise many questions, but most importantly, what will it mean for their quiet lives during the off-season?
