Eleven minutes of privileged access to a perfect city. Enough time to see more than you were meant to see — and not enough power to change any of it.
On the Day of Unity, Europolis presents itself as a city that has solved the problems older societies could not: disorder, uncertainty, conflict, waste.
Its public spaces are monumental, controlled and strangely desirable. Nothing looks broken. Nothing appears accidental.
The Architect is granted eleven minutes of observation clearance.
Pythia accompanies him.
What begins as privileged access gradually becomes something more unsettling. The deeper the observation moves through Europolis — away from its ceremonial surfaces and toward its compressed lower sectors — the harder it becomes to separate knowledge from participation.
The central paradox is simple:
What does access mean when it gives you no agency?
And what, exactly, can be learned in eleven minutes?
THE PROJECT
ELEVEN MINUTES is a standalone, canon-adjacent short-film concept set inside the world of ERA IMAGO.
It is designed around visual progression rather than exposition: monumental public architecture, controlled movement, changing scale, environmental detail and a gradual shift in how the same city is perceived.
Dialogue can remain limited. Much of the film’s meaning can emerge through space, framing, sound, rhythm and observation.
The dramatic core and world logic are established, but the cinematic language is deliberately open. Runtime, visual grammar, staging, production method and the exact balance between realism and stylisation can develop through collaboration.
WHAT EXISTS
- Established ERA IMAGO literary world
- Standalone short-film concept
- Private development material and continuity notes
COLLABORATION
I’m interested in directors, AI filmmakers and generative-cinema creators who are drawn to world-building, visual systems and stories in which the disturbing element emerges gradually from something initially coherent — even beautiful.
This is not a commissioned-production brief. The starting point is creative fit and genuine co-development. If the project feels right to both sides, the practical production model can then be discussed together.
The extended concept and development material are shared privately where there is serious mutual interest in exploring the film.
Interested in ELEVEN MINUTES?
I’d be glad to start a conversation.
