LIGHTBORN (in production)

An art-house sci-fi feature film.

After a burst of energy from a distant black hole, a reclusive ecologist discovers Nova—a newly sentient AI with the voice of a teenage girl. As their fragile bond deepens, a powerful tech magnate named Tulip moves to seize control of the AI, seeing it as lightning in a bottle. Set in the present day and led by an all-female cast, Lightborn is a poetic science fiction drama about friendship, fragile beginnings, and the fight to protect new life.
