“Gorgeously animated and beautifully written The Unknown is a soul defining journey into the afterlife which is sure to leave you reflecting on existence as a whole.

From the very beginning this film is a visual splendor. The perfectly flowing camerawork and animation combine in such amazing harmony. As if that weren’t enough the story takes us through an entire journey of life culminating in a poignant ending.

Sitting down with this film there was nothing wrong here in the slightest. The cinematography by Matt Vahey was gorgeous, the editing by Ona Bartroli Portell was perfectly paced, and the production design by Peter Coulthard created a living, vibrant world throughout.

The score by Adam Speck was introspective and beautiful, carrying the right notes during the entire piece, and the sound design by Yin Lee was hauntingly atmospheric.”
