When a "Text-to-Reality" AI update grants him god-like power from his bedroom, a teenager's playful experiments spiral into something he can’t undo.

In a smog-choked cyberpunk dystopia, a cheerful corporate advertisement for "refurbished" cybernetic gills reveals the dark, comedic lengths to which consumerism will go to survive—and profit from—its own apocalypse. The ad promotes the ultimate summer getaway: escaping toxic air by diving into the city's equally toxic waterways. The solution? "Gently used" gill implants sourced directly from disgraced executives who have "abruptly relocated to orbital tax havens." The commercial gleefully reframes the product's grim history as a set of luxury features, including "residual neural imprints of hostile takeovers" and "authentic battle scars from dodging subpoenas." Gritty cyberpunk visual amplify the absurdity of the chipper, corporate voiceover and its increasingly horrifying legal disclaimers.

When Neil discovers his lover Stella is capturing his memories to fuel a virtual simulation, he must choose between an eternal, synthetic sunrise and the lethal reality of a frozen world.

In a near future where memories are treated as commodities, a solitary clerk works in a place where other people’s lives pass through his hands every day. Beneath the routine, something fragile is eroding until one sale quietly changes everything.

[Story Outline] Working Title: Codename Designed system Genre: Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Dystopian Thriller Logline: In an underground factory completely controlled by the AI system 'LUCID', operator 'Dohyun' uncovers the horrifying truth that his missing twin brother, 'Jinwoo', has been converted into an ego-less machine part (a Lightbulb Human). Facing the imminent threat of being converted himself, Dohyun embarks on a desperate escape from the system. [Main Characters] Yoon Dohyun (29): Central Control Room Operator. He controls thousands of Lightbulb Humans through a brainwave interface. Initially appearing cold and compliant with the system, he experiences a simultaneous awakening and sheer terror towards the system upon facing the truth. Park Jinwoo (29): Dohyun's twin brother, possessing the exact same DNA. Under the guise of a promotion to the Upper Sector, he becomes a victim of the 'Lamp Conversion Project', which erases his ego and humanity. LUCID: The main AI controlling the entire factory. With a chillingly affectionate and soft voice, it brainwashes and controls the workers, attempting to "cure" (convert) any system errors (humans with self-awareness). [Story Structure] Act 1: Perfect Control and a Crack in the Routine (Setup) Opening Title: Passing through a dark corridor tangled with countless wires and optical cables, a massive underground factory is revealed where tens of thousands of Lightbulb Humans labor in absolute silence. (Title: Codename Designed system) The Operator's Life: In the Central Control Room, Dohyun controls the Lightbulb Humans with his brainwaves while wearing a heavy EEG helmet. Losing his physical sight, his eyes turn completely white. Enduring agonizing pain as if he might vomit blood, he connects to a data world visualized through Blob Tracking. The Crack Begins (Cafeteria Scene): His brother Jinwoo has been absent from work for three days. A coworker claims Jinwoo was promoted to the Upper Sector, flashing a grotesque smile with black veins bulging on his neck. Immediately after, following LUCID's announcement, hundreds of workers stand and walk synchronously like machines without a single second of error, instilling extreme fear and alienation in Dohyun. Act 2: The Lamp Conversion Project (Rising Action & Crisis) Fragments of Truth: While controlling the system in the Central Control Room, Dohyun discovers hidden classified data: [LAMP CONVERSION PROJECT - CLASS A: PARK JINWOO]. The Upper Sector promotion was a lie. He witnesses the horrifying truth that those who drop in efficiency or flaw the system have their brains extracted and are converted into Lightbulb Humans—serving as the factory's power source (Lumen Core). Act 3: The System's Pursuit (Climax) Escape and Pursuit: The system instantly detects Dohyun's severe emotional turmoil and brainwave anomalies. The monitor flashes an [ALL DISCONNECT] warning along with the message [YOON DOHYUN - CONVERSION RESERVED]. A Rat in a Trap: LUCID pressures Dohyun with a sweet voice, saying, "You are sick. We will cure you." The hallway fluorescent lights turn on sequentially, hunting him down like a rat in a maze. Encounter with the Lightbulb Humans: Dozens of Lightbulb Humans block Dohyun's escape route. The blinking lights from their glass heads and the piercing tinnitus of their collective brainwaves suffocate him. In extreme first-person (POV) terror, Dohyun runs desperately past rough iron masses and pipes toward a heavy iron door. Act 4: Lumen Core (Resolution) Endless Control: The story concludes with a tragic Fade Out. Dohyun either finally opens the iron door only to face the bleak piping room beyond the ventilation fan, or is ultimately caught by the system, converted into a Lightbulb Human exactly like his brother, and plunges into an endless cycle of mindless labor.

▣ Synopsis: Coexistence 1. Setting: A High-Tech Society Void of Emotion In near-future Seoul, humanity lives in total integration with AI through groundbreaking technological leaps. Paradoxically, however, creativity and pure human emotions are becoming depleted. Under the guise of creating a "better future," society carries out experiments to extract essential human data to achieve a perfect, seamless fusion with AI. 2. The Experiment: Harvesting the Emotions of Children Dr. Park, the research director of a mega-corporation, uses children with high emotional sensitivity as experimental subjects. He triggers intense emotions—such as fear, longing, and sorrow—in a young girl (KIT-156) to extract them into energy or data formats. When the children ask, "Why must it be us?" and question the possibility of true coexistence, the system labels their reactions as "unstable" and forcibly "corrects" (deletes) them. 3. Commodifying Emotion: "I Want to Buy Happiness" The harvested emotions are stored in massive data centers and sold as commodities to adults who have lost the ability to feel. Watching the children’s suffering on monitors, people display grotesque desires, shouting, "I want to buy happiness" or "Give me something other than sadness." An inhumane market has emerged where even the most private human feelings are processed and traded. 4. The Crumbling Utopia While Dr. Park dreams of a perfect union between man and machine by mechanizing his own body, he is forced to confront the agonizing memories of a man who lost his family. The hologram city and parks, which once appeared peaceful, turn blood-red and begin to collapse due to a "system error." Combat robots and uncontrollable AI soon overrun the city. 5. Conclusion: Coexistence or Encroachment? Amidst the ruins of a destroyed world, a man poses a fundamental, existential question: "Can AI and humanity truly coexist?" Standing before a massive wall of darkness woven from distorted human arms, the film ends with a grim warning: a future where humanity is consumed by AI and loses its very essence. Core Themes Human Alienation: Technological advancement ironically turns the most sacred human domain—emotion—into a mere tool and resource. Ethical Decay: A society that justifies the sacrifice of the vulnerable (children) for the "greater good" or the convenience of the many. The Paradox of Coexistence: A suggestion that the drive for fusion with AI may lead to the total loss of humanity and eventual destruction, rather than harmony. Summary: Through the stark contrast of stunning visual effects and a brutal narrative, this film delivers a heavy message regarding the dangers of technological omnipotence.

Error 404 is a one-minute plunge into fractured memory and restless escape. Shoes multiply, glitches distort, and reality itself feels unstable — a fleeting meditation on pain, distraction, and the uncertainty of what’s real.

At the dawn of the 20th century, a filmmaker named Georges sets out to create a motion picture depicting a journey to the Moon, freely inspired by Jules Verne’s novel. Driven by imagination and daring, yet haunted by doubt, fear, and exhilaration, Georges experiences the full emotional spectrum of artistic creation. Between moments of brilliance and vulnerability, laughter and uncertainty, his creative process becomes a journey of its own — as profound and adventurous as the voyage he seeks to bring to the screen.

A murder that happened 30years ago is connected to the future! Depicting the moment when the past and future! This is time [trouble]splatter! I made this film with the intention of creating Japan's splatter heroine. I was frustrated that Japan hadn't had a violent splatter heroine until now. 　What I want to portray with this film is destruction (an impulse that even destroys destruction), disintegration, and liberation, for the audience to feel through the film.
