The directing duo behind "KPop Demon Hunters" have signed on to executive produce a new animated short titled "Living With a Visionary," Hollywood Buzz News has learned. The film, directed by Stephen P. Neary, runs 15 minutes and is set for release on January 22, 2026.

"Living With a Visionary" centers on John, a man who has been married for 50 years and now finds himself caring for his wife while adjusting to life alongside her vivid hallucinations. The story blends the everyday realities of caregiving with the disorienting presence of visions that are invisible to him but entirely real to her.

James Cromwell voices the Narrator, while Katherine LaVictoire voices Laura. The short is an English-language production and is classified as animation.

The project arrives with a notably low audience rating on TMDb, where it currently sits at 2 out of 10.

Neary, the film's director, is known for his work in animation, and the addition of executive producers with a recent high-profile animated credit gives the short a measure of industry attention as it heads toward its January release.

At 15 minutes, "Living With a Visionary" fits the short-film format that often serves as a calling card for animators and directors seeking to showcase tonal range. The premise, which folds a long marriage and the strain of Alzheimer's-like hallucinations into a compact running time, suggests a project built around emotional restraint rather than spectacle.

The executive producers' involvement was confirmed exclusively to Hollywood Buzz News. Further distribution details and any additional casting were not immediately available.

The film's release date of January 22, 2026 places it early in the year, a window that frequently hosts festival-adjacent shorts and awards-qualifying titles. Whether "Living With a Visionary" follows that path remains to be seen, but the combination of Cromwell's narration and LaVictoire's lead voice performance gives the short a recognizable anchor.

For now, the project stands as a small-scale character piece with a veteran voice cast, a first-time pairing of director and executive producers, and a story that asks its audience to sit with a man who cannot see what his wife sees but chooses to stay beside her anyway.
