Harvest
The war is over. The walk home isn’t.

A Roman epic built in a single day from a single piece of music: a farmer-soldier walks the last wheat field home while the war flashes shorter behind his eyes. Meet the Varro family and hear the track that chose the ending.

What’s next

DEAD AIR poster
Story in development
Dead Air
Dark synthwave noir — the artifacts of a film that doesn't exist. Yet.

The key art and a teaser were built first, the way you'd find relics of a lost picture. Now it enters the pipeline for real: the track hunt is next, and the story that survives the listen becomes the film.

Never the End

Film 001 of the score-story series — a 3:16 silent chase written beat-for-beat on a Stefan Ekstrom track. Cast locked, canon sheets drawn, waiting for its shoot.

Two untitled pictures

The studio picks its next two worlds this week. The rule never changes: the music leads, and no story survives unless it can hold a full listen with your eyes closed.
