Clearwind is an animated series concept set 100 years in the future after a large-scale North American civil war. Air travel becomes the norm as skyfolk pilots navigate the fractured continent, with deep cultural divides between North and South.
After his father Red is captured by the ruthless Hilfarr fuel cartel, 14-year-old Rutherford "Rudder" Clearwind is entrusted with a key to unlock a hidden vault, supposedly containing the power to dismantle the cartel forever.
Along his high-stakes flight across the hostile skies, Rudder allies with a Northern skyfolk Genevieve—a runaway cartel heir—and a ragtag crew of fuel smugglers in a rugged old plane. Together, they battle sky pirates raiding convoys, a relentless bounty hunter, a rogue machine terrorizing the airways, and much more.
This coming-of-age tale soars with adventure, heart, and themes of legacy, freedom, and what it means to stand for something.
Below are some of the concepts for the soundtrack. This has been a project over five years in the making, and someday I hope it can come into fruition!
