Description

With my science-fiction approach to my films currently, I aimed to explore more historic topics to integrate within contemporary science-fiction settings in order to cater to younger audiences. This is where I explored Poland, a neighbor country to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. I delved in the history to understand the country and it's populous more thoroughly and learn about important historical events. I was captivated by the tragedy and juxtaposition of the classical hero's journey.

During an exponential aggressive expansion of the machine intelligence known as 'Proxis Prime', the native avian Poskalians are under occupation by the ruthless machine mind seeking to enslave the population. But whispers in the void speak of liberation by the neighboring 'Brass Legion'. Downtrodden, afraid and enraged, the Poskalians rise up against their steel oppressor in the hopes of the liberator to join their effort. Unfortunately, the reinforcement is not as benevolent as imagined.

In this project, I am the director and creator. The full movie is about 6-7 minutes and is created in Blender and After Effects and be produced in a full-on production workflow pipeline. In the end, the product will be showcased in a premiere showing at the cinema room as well as have copious amounts of promotional posters hung up around the location.
