Logline

A retro-futuristic fever dream, rendered in a black-and-white aesthetic, about a quest for immortality and its potentially deadly implications -- with Bella Thorne!

Set in an otherworldly human existence, scientist Sterling Pierce dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum named "Divinity." Jaxxon Pierce, his son, now controls and manufactures his father's once-benevolent dream. Society on this barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose true origins are shrouded in mystery. Two mysterious brothers arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and with the help of a seductive woman named Nikita, they will be set on a path hurtling toward true immortality.

Eddie Alcazar

Unconfined by genre, filmmaker Eddie Alcazar’s multi-technique approach to visual storytelling is an exploration of undiscovered cinematic territories. Alcazar coined the term “meta-scope” to describe a visionary technique that blends live action and stop-motion. His previous films include THE VANDAL (Cannes), FUCKKKYOUUU (Sundance), and PERFECT (SXSW). He was selected as one of the 25 up-and-coming faces in Hollywood by Filmmaker magazine.
