Hero's Journey

Hero’s Journey is a 2D and 3D animation by Wes Smith and Ash Suh about the main character of a video game who cannot control his actions. The title directly alludes to the ancient monomyth, Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Hero’s Journey reframes the mythic and cyclic story structure through the modern perspective of a role-playing video game. It also serves as an homage to some of our favorite childhood games such as Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Super Mario Bros. Featuring rising star Christopher Sean Cooper Jr. (Sweet Tooth) as the voice of the Gamer and Wes Smith as the voice of the titular character, Hero’s Journey combines laughter and heartbreak into one action-packed adventure.
