    In a world that judges people by their number, Zero faces constant prejudice and persecution. He walks a lonely path until a chance encounter changes his life forever: he meets a female zero. Together they prove that through determination, courage, and love, nothing can be truly something.
    Zero has screened in over 50 festivals and has won 15 awards, including 'Best Animation' from LA Shorts Fest and the Rhode Island International Film Festival, and has been nominated for an AFI Award in the 'Best Short Animation' category.
    Contact Christopher Kezelos, the Director of Zero, at www.zealouscreative.com/contact/
    Since its UA-cam premiere on May 25, 2011, Zero has been translated into over 40 languages by its many enthusiastic fans.

      The follow-up to Zero is a beautiful 100-page graphic novel that continues the story from where the film ends. If you thought this film ended with an epic conclusion, it's nothing compared to where the comic goes. More info here - bit.ly/Zero-The-Beginning

    Most people see this as anti-bullying and all that, but I personally find this to be more representative of the caste system. (A system in India where people in society are divided into different social classes) The higher numbers, let’s say 9 & 10, being the Brahmin, the highest rank and most successful. The tad bit lower numbers, let’s say 7 & 8, being the Kshatriyas, the second-highest rank. 5 & 6 could be the Vaishyas. 1-4 the Sudra. And finally, zeros being the Dalit, the lowest rank. They’re the poorest of the caste system, and used to be so hated that they were called “Untouchables”, which is a very dehumanizing term. I honestly don’t know that much about the caste system, so I probably got some things wrong, but that’s what this video reminded me of.

    Man, this Video was one of the first i can remember watching on youtube. I was 4 or 5 at that time and couldn't speak english a single bit. (Am German)
    And one particular scene is stuck in my head since i was young, but i never found this video until now again. I remember even tho i couldn't understand a single bit, i still felt with the Zeros. I am glad that i can now fully understand what it is about.
    Great Video! Hope ya have a nice day!

    I appreciate this, it made me think of a bunch of topics. One comment spoke about the Cast system which I didn't even know about. There is an anime called forest of piano the main character lives a hard life but has a talent for playing piano which nobody expected from someone like him and zero turned out to be good at art which nobody would have expected from a zero. I feel like the zero has many meanings though the video in class he was the one everyone zeroed in on, when they hung him from a tree he showed no sign of anger, when he saw help wanted he didn't hesitate to try to help, when he found the coin he was selfless, the list goes on and on. This is a true work of art.

    I remember watching this as a child , around when I was 9 or 10, and this was the first movie that fully translated the sadness I used to feel as a child and at the end of the movie I cried so much because it felt like I was finally understood and not alone in how feel (how I used to feel back then) ,and it felt like there was hope. Hope to be greater than how I felt about myself & everything else in my life, at that moment. I will forever be infinitely grateful to this masterpiece , for comforting me , letting me know that I wasn't alone & assuring me with hope that I can be & feel greater than I did in that moment. I will forever be grateful to this movie for instilling in me the core values that 'how other people treat us has nothing to do with our worth as a person' & "the majority isn't always right or correct, we have to analyze with empathy" & "Anyone has the power, the ability to create something bigger & magnificent, regardless of where they're from or how they are" .
    It's been years since I had watched this movie when I was 9 or 10 , and I always think about this movie so much . Thankyou so much for this movie, it has really impacted my life and who I am as a person in alot of ways, throughout my life. I am eternally grateful. Much love and thanks to the all people that contributed to the creation of this movie❤.

    I have watched this ever since 7 years old on my mom's phone, I didn't have a phone back then, she had UA-cam installed, and I watch some animations but this one by far is always stuck on my head after 6 years it's so nostalgic and I grew up with this

    Zealous, thanks for a nice childhood that made me grow into the weirdest, probably most interesting and likeable person in the world. It’s crazy coming back to this.

    Hi person scrolling through the comments! I just wanted to say, that I felt upset and alone while watching this ( not because it was bad, because it’s sad 😔 and it’s supposed to be sad) and I don’t want you to feel like that. Think about everyone you have got. And I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. I’m by your side as well. Have a wonderful day. Your never alone :)
