Tales from Scorchwater Valley - The Rhino and the Redbill (Animated Pilot)E

Rating Details

Welcome to the valley. Stay alive. Keep hydrated. Make it home.

In the wild, Rhinos and Red-Billed Oxpeckers have a very unique symbiotic relationship. The oxpeckers spend their day nestled on top of the rhino for food and protection, and in return they help to alert the often visually-impaired rhinos if there is danger in the area. They can, however, be a nuisance to their hosts, often picking at wounds when searching for food, and their bond can quickly turn parasitic.

Based on their relationship in the wild, The Rhino and the Redbill is an independent Kickstarter pilot telling the story of a blind rhinoceros named Niles, a flightless oxpecker named Red, and their unhatched egg Sam, working together to weather the harsh realities of a drought ravaged wilderness. Scorchwater Valley is dying and it's taking everyone else down with it, and the duo strive to breathe life into a new world as they prepare for a newborn on the way. It's every creature for themselves as social structures have collapsed and factions of carnivorous gangs, evil cults, and deadly poachers compete to stay on top of the food chain. Niles and Redford have to work together to survive in a dying world, provided they can survive each other.
