Ridley, a robot with extraordinary abilities, is stranded on a hostile planet and must escape.

The biggest film I have ever made so far. So much time and effort was spent, from 2015 to 2018, and I can't thank the crew enough for helping me.

Check out the costume and production design page for more behind-the-scenes.

Summary:

The year is 2197, a 1980's retro envisioned future where science fiction and space ships flood the world. Dr. Rory, a double agent and scientist for Veil Intel, a shady organization, finally creates the "first true" sentient robot named Ridley. The trick? An Omni Drive: a device that allows the flow of emotions to be processed without overloading a machine's central processor. Withou tthe drive, Ridley is a fumbling mess, unable to control his thoughts or feelings with child-like curious manner. With the drive, he can feel; his mind is more powerful than any being capable of thought in the galaxy. However, there is more than one robot. D2, Rory’s second most recent project and “older brother” to Ridley, is incapable of having a drive as powerful as Ridley’s. Driven by unstable emotion, D2 takes Ridley’s schematics and leaves their home. Soon after, Rory is discovered and takes Ridley and flees. Rory and Ridley become separated, with Rory safe and sound and Ridley crash landing on an unknown desert planet. He wakes up with the drive missing, his mind racing, lost, alone. Flashes of his past haunt him as he looks for the drive. All the while, he is hunted.
