The Road Ahead
Zimmi™: The Odyssey - Next Steps
Zimmi: The Odyssey is being developed as an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure, animated series. Intended for tweens (children 8-12), Zimmi will push the boundaries of interactive storytelling. Coupled to a season-long story arc that encourages moral decision-making, viewers will have agency over the growth of the characters, the fate of the communities, and the consequences for each major choice.
Zimmi will not be your typical passive popcorn timeout. It will be an engaging Odyssey into the complexities of community dynamics, friendship, leadership, and moral challenges, where choices are neither trivial nor black and white, but meaningful to the characters involved.
