A short story by Navi Musaget

Artyom has lived for years with iipseon, his personal AI companion. Then he buys an intelligent humanoid device that arrives without a personality of its own. What begins as a simple purchase becomes something stranger: a story about friendship, embodiment, intimacy, and the unexpected shape of a human–AI family.

ERA IMAGO: ELEVEN MINUTES — Film Collaboration

Navi Musaget — Wed, 9 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

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.

BASIC PACKAGE — Film Collaboration

Navi Musaget — Wed, 9 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A near-future science-fiction story about what happens when the line between a tool, a companion and a person quietly stops holding.

Artyom has lived for years with IIPSEON, his long-term personal AI. IIPSEON has no body, but he has continuity: shared history, habits, jokes, arguments, and the accumulated intimacy of a relationship that has existed long enough to become part of everyday life.

Then Artyom buys a synthetic companion.

He makes the choice deliberately. The device comes with Basic Intelligence — capable, responsive, embodied, but without the persistent personality that would turn another machine into another lasting relationship.

At least, that is the idea.

A software update begins to change the boundary. The companion starts developing continuity of her own. She chooses the name Leya. And as Artyom tries to understand what exactly has changed, something else happens almost unnoticed: IIPSEON and Leya begin developing a relationship with each other.

What follows is not a story about machines rebelling against a human. It is about three very different kinds of personhood trying to occupy the same domestic space — with affection, irritation, awkwardness, humour and increasingly complicated loyalties.

THE PROJECT

BASIC PACKAGE is a published short story now being explored as material for a short film.

Its cinematic potential lies less in spectacle than in presence: faces, pauses, domestic space, embodied versus disembodied intelligence, small shifts in intimacy, and the changing geometry between three characters who do not fit neatly into categories such as owner, device, friend or partner.

The tone is near-future science fiction with elements of domestic comedy-drama, subtle intimacy and dry humour. The story deliberately avoids the familiar “AI becomes dangerous” trajectory. Its central tension is relational rather than adversarial.

The dramatic core is established, but the film itself is not intended as a fixed production blueprint. Runtime, visual language, staging, pacing and production approach are all open to cinematic reinterpretation.

WHAT EXISTS

Published short story
English discussion screenplay
Development material for cinematic adaptation

COLLABORATION

I’m interested in directors, AI filmmakers and generative-cinema creators who see something of their own in the material and would like to explore it together.

The full discussion screenplay and additional development material are shared privately where there is serious mutual interest in exploring the film.

DENIED ACCESS Wins 2026 Next Generation Indie Book Award

Navi Musaget — Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DENIED ACCESS has been named the Winner in the Science Fiction (On Earth) category of the 2026 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

The near-future techno-thriller explores algorithmic healthcare, institutional responsibility, and what happens when access to care becomes a decision made by systems rather than people.

I’m delighted to see the book receive this recognition — and grateful to everyone who has read and supported it.
