Samples
City in Dark
An action-drama about a young girl in a post-apocalyptic city where the sky is blackened by pollution. She lives alone and is forced to beg and steal to survive. But when she swipes a briefcase from a scientist, with something unexpectedly valuable inside, she has to run from the police, the scientist, and dark dwelling mutants in order to keep her prize. (in progress)
White Noise Hysteria
A suspenseful short film of a sardonic spin on zombie movies in a post COVID/post A.I. world.
Dead West
An Old Western, open world, set in a post-apocalyptic future where our classic cowboy protagonist escapes the totalitarian costal pod cities housing the remainder of humanity in order find his freedom in the west, where there is nothing but deserts and Gothic monsters.
A short film of a post-apocalyptic tragedy, reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, where the unnamed main character is forced to find the will to continue on her journey through this wasteland despite having lost the one thing worth surviving for.
