Welcome to the maiden voyage.
Episode 1 of Earth 271: ‘The Cathy Coup’
Earth-271 is an independent CGI-animated satirical comedy exploring interdimensional conspiracies, social media shadowbanning, absurd sci-fi politics, and the surreal reality of being an animated character written and dictated from another plane of existence.
Thomas Calvin finds himself facing an ever-growing lineup of characters working against him across dimensions. From Captain Bibo and Captain Bowser orchestrating digital censorship to political figures like Vice President Dance, The 3-Star General Wade Eiling, and 48th President Cyber7rump a cyborg that Ronald Drumff (The 45th and 47th President) placed himself in…technically not tied to the 45th and 47th term as he is now in a new “body”, alongside underworld bosses like Gregory Schwarts, Bowzers Goombas, Narandra Moobi, Taylor Kelsey, and an entire roster of rivals conspiring to take him down, Thomas has to navigate a mounting labyrinth of absurd lore, fourth-wall breaks, and an ultimate confrontation with the forces dictating his reality.
Created, written, and directed independently by Zachary ‘Thomas Calvin’ Petrie under Six Seed Studio.
