About

Elena & Olivia Ceballos

Together, they're ELIOLI, sisters who've been working in the animation industry for over 10 years.

With a distinct, painterly style, Elena and Olivia are bringing a more mature, artistic reverence to stories that are often flattened into children's cartoons: Adam and Eve, and Noah.

Genesis is their vision for what that could look like.

Genesis is currently being made into a 3-minute proof of concept, funded by 1,277 backers through Kickstarter, raising over $100K. Production is expected to be complete around early 2027.

More on the project

Theology & Vision+

Scripture is our foundation, from Eden through Noah. Where the historical record is sparse, we lean on research from early cultures and a measure of artistic license to ground the world, staying true to the text while making it feel immediate and real.

Content & Rating+

Genesis is intended for mature audiences. It doesn't shy away from a fallen world's darker edges, but that material is handled with restraint, relying on implication and atmosphere rather than explicit portrayal. Over 500 people polled showed interest in both PG-13 and R-level takes on the story, we're taking that seriously as we shape the tone.

Why a Proof of Concept+

We believe Genesis has the potential to be a legacy piece, and a vision this ambitious needs to be seen to be believed. This short film is a definitive look at our production pipeline, cinematic quality, and tone, and the first chapter of a much larger world.
