THE NARRATIVE

The Story

Told through the eyes of humans across every era in history, this three-season animated epic spans 7,000 years to tell the story of a Father who sacrifices everything to win back His children, and an enemy who will stop at nothing to keep them apart.

One by one, across centuries and civilizations — a wanderer east of Eden, a stranger outside an ark, a prophet in a foreign court, a reformer nailing words to a door — the same questions resurface.

Can God restore what was broken without force?
Can He win back His children and still let them choose?
That is what ABOVE is about.

Most animated Bible stories are made for children.

THE BIBLE DESERVES TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Rich worldbuilding. Nuanced characters. Complex truth.

The 18–35 audience has embraced Arcane, Spider-Verse, and Entergalactic and knows that animation is capable of genuine artistic and emotional sophistication. Almost no one is making Biblical animation for that audience yet.

It's time to tell the most important story ever told with the craft and quality it deserves.

SEASONS

Each episode centers on a cosmic shift in the divine drama. The stakes are massive. Yet each episode plays like a single self-contained story about a character living at the core of that moment. Cosmic figures like God, Lucifer, and other angels act as the connective tissue that binds each episode together. That allows us to jump down the timeline centuries at a time while telling one continuous story.

It's monumental, yet intimate. Beautiful, yet tragic.

SEASON ONE

The Pilot

When heaven's most beloved angel turns his brilliance against the Creator, two lifelong friends find themselves on opposite sides of a question that will split the universe in two.

Is God actually love? Or is He an elaborate manipulator using His power to vie for affection and loyalty? Is He above all to serve — or to oppress?

OUR APPROACH

Theology

Our process is rigorous.

For each episode, we begin with the Bible — parsing every line, hanging on every word. From this, we establish the non-negotiable pillars of the story. Then we consult history, archaeology, and non-Biblical writings to flesh out the world, testing each new detail against the Biblical narrative.

For theological questions specifically, we go deeper still — into the original languages, letting the Bible interpret itself. From there, we trace the thread of Christian belief back before the Greek philosophical infiltration and political compromises of the third and fourth centuries AD.

The immovable foundation of ABOVE is Scripture.

We believe the surest way to find authentic Christianity is to follow that thread all the way back to its source. To Jesus.

THE PROOF OF CONCEPT

Why We're Building the Proof

We believe ABOVE has the potential to be a legacy piece — the kind of story that marks a generation.

A vision this ambitious needs to be seen to be believed. That's why we're creating a proof of concept: a definitive look at our production pipeline, cinematic quality, and unique tone.

Projects like this either happen with belief and support, or they don't happen at all.

With your help, it can.

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

The Future of ABOVE
is in Your Hands

We want to make sure the unique vision and impact of the story doesn't get watered down or lost in the studio system. With your help, ABOVE can become a reality.

You noticed.

We need a lot more art before we can launch — concept work, character designs, environments, animatics, posters. But we're not backed by a studio. We're building this independently, and we need your support to get there.

THIS IS WHAT A SHOW LOOKS LIKE BEFORE ANYONE BELIEVES IN IT ENOUGH TO FUND IT.
