About The Series
What is Eclipse City?
Eclipse City is a 2D animated dark fantasy series set in a hidden in-between realm, shrouded in darkness and used by higher beings as a temporary dumping ground for rebellious souls.The city is monitored by three mythological birds known as the Nocturns, each overseeing their own section of the city to ensure the realm is being used as intended.When Ivy, a newly cast soul, arrives in Eclipse City, she quickly realizes something is wrong. Every soul in the city knows exactly why they were sent there. Ivy is the first who does not.No matter how hard she tries, she cannot seem to remember the reason behind her casting... or anything for that matter.With the help of the souls she meets along the way, Ivy begins searching for answers, only to accidentally bite off more than she can chew.
The project will begin with a pilot episode developed as a 'proof of concept' for a potentially larger series.
