Zero is part of the Toronto After Dark Canadian Short Film Showcase. It played before The Warlords.
Zero is a minimalist short film done in the style of Japanese calligraphy. The characters fade in and out of the cream coloured, paper-like background to tell the story of a man seeking revenge for the death of his father.
