Synopsis

Dreams come true. So do nightmares. Logan Brandt, creator of Dark Frontier — the highest-grossing VR game in the world — is hired by NeuroPharm and starts building Athena, a quantum intelligence he hopes will let him sleep. The avatar looks like Dalia. The machine is learning to sound alive. Adapted from Andrew Palmer's novel, written with Ian Weir, and in production on a 90-day generative pipeline: Unreal, motion capture, Seedance — one director, built in public.
