Official poster reveal!

Our first proper short film, Real Boy, is on the editing table — and we couldn’t be more excited to share this with you. Inspired by Pinocchio, Real Boy is the opening episode of our series Neon Fables: familiar fairy tales retold with a darker, modern twist.

Real Boy follows a grieving teacher who, after a tragic accident that took his wife and daughter, sinks into depression and nearly loses his job. Then a mysterious package arrives: a computer drive. An AI awakens, takes control of his machine, and begins to shadow his every move. What does the AI want — and what dark secrets does it keep?
