The trailer

At 11:11 p.m., a woman struggling to send a message that could alter someone’s life receives a call from a stranger who somehow knows what she has written—and what she will ultimately decide—forcing her to confront whether a choice can still belong to us if someone already knows we are going to make it.

The Animation

The first Animation of the You Never Know world.

Jade is texting someone she hasn’t answered in weeks, and she can’t get the last line right. An unknown number calls. She answers the third time he calls. The man says she keeps changing the last sentence and the first one was better. She hasn’t sent it. He says something’s about to fall upstairs, and it does. A car alarm is next, he says, and one goes off. She asks what she’s supposed to do. He won’t tell her. She asks if he knows what she’ll do, and he says yes.
