"Pinnacle Power" is an upcoming 2024 paper cut-out, 2-D hand drawn, stop-motion animation that serves as a capstone project for Brody O'Brien, a student that currently goes to the University of Texas at Dallas.

​

The story revolves around two high school teenagers, who must work together to defeat an evil entity floating around the inside of the school they're in. The entity earlier used a power that caused everyone else in the building to freeze motionless, but these two boys didn't get affected, due to their autistic nature, and now they embrace their diagnosis as full-on superpowers given to them.

​

The creator of this short, Brody O'Brien, is also autistic in real life, as he was diagnosed with it at 4 1/2 years old in 2005. He wanted to put in this characteristic to make the characters relatable, along with mixing in his love for comic book superheroes with the film's plot.
