Spawn
Concept, Direction, Design, Editing · 2025
Spawn is a feature-length science fiction project that imagines a future in which humanity, facing the total collapse of Earth, chooses not to flee… but to return.
Not to warn us. But to replace us.
The story begins quietly: two identical structures appear without warning across the world. No one knows what they are or how they got there. From that moment on, a tense and unsettling narrative unfolds, where the nature of humanity is questioned, and time is no longer linear… but ethical.
Spawn explores identity, survival, moral substitution and the fragility of the present, all within a hyperrealistic and atmospheric visual language.
It's a story that looks forward, and asks if we're already too late.
The idea, the direction, the design and the editing are entirely mine, made on my own with generative tools: Midjourney, Runway, Eleven Labs and Premiere Pro.
