Concept Treatment

“Zach & Ollie” is about two relentlessly positive, abstract creatures. Nothing ever seems to bother them or get in their way. Why? Because they don’t doubt anything. If they believe they can do it, then they can do it. Zach and Ollie never give up because they believe there is always a solution to a problem, no matter how obscure or bizarre. The two of them live in a wonderfully stylized and trippy world. There are no humans here, just characters based around shapes. Everything is light and colorful. Even the darkest nights are warm and inviting.

Story Ideas

Idea #1

Zach and Ollie are walking near the sea side, wondering what they’re going to do today. Zach thinks it might be fun to cool off in the water and Ollie agrees. As the two of them head down to the ocean, they come across a sad man, Robby, standing right on the edge of the sandy beach. They ask him what’s wrong, and the man explains that the sand is too hot for him to walk on. The sand is so hot there’s no way he could make it to the ocean without his feet catching on fire. Zach touches the sand with his finger, which quickly causes it to ignite in flames. He confirms that Robby is telling the truth.
