TIME FLIES (TRAILER)
Synopsis
With only one day to live, two flies scramble to make the most of their time before it runs out.
In this fast-paced comedy adventure, two flies with opposite personalities struggle to make the most of a 24-hour lifespan. The Energetic A-fly rushes to complete every activity on a massive bucket list, whereas the introspective Z-fly searches for a deeper meaning, only to spiral into existential dread. As the sun starts to set, the flies panic that their time is running out. But in the end, a death defying-encounter forces them both to live in the moment while they still can.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR ​​
LJ Burnett is a storyboard and comic artist hailing from Northern Virginia. Raised on fantasy books, action-adventure graphic novels, and animated TV shows, LJ has always been captivated by stories and impassioned to create their own.
While pursuing their BFA in Sequential Art at SCAD, LJ has constantly sought out collaborative opportunities outside the classroom, such as illustrating for a visual novel game, storyboarding for indie animation projects, or an editorial position at a grassroots comic publisher.
Their curiosity for animation and passion for collaborative storytelling led them to join SCAD Animation Studios and pitch the story that would become “Time Flies.” When they’re not drawing or writing, LJ enjoys playing D&D, tabling at comic conventions, and scouring the internet for odd science facts.
