Northwest Civic Circle (NWCC), in partnership with Cutting Edge Animation and Compass Health, will host a special screening of Captain Zero: Into the Abyss: Part II at the Edmonds Theater the afternoon of Saturday, January 24, 2026.
The film is about a Black teenager on a mental health journey as he learns to process his trauma, while attempting to save the day…and save himself. The story, framed through his character’s therapy sessions, Xerxes Hughes "recounts" his escapades as an amateur superhero and the pitfalls that lead to his encounter with The Depression Demon--a physical manifestation of all his deep-seated insecurities.
Having made its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, this 15-minute animated action/drama is packed with bold visuals, impactful world-building, and themes ripe for conversation with the creative team.
