“every twist reshapes how we understand the story emotionally...
a refreshing read…”
Austin Film Festival, 2025
“…attention grabbing…The action sequences are often spectacular… ”
cinematic and rooted in character, Solar requiem explores humanity, meaning, loss, and warmth in a cold, infinite universe.
Developed with a mix of HARD SCIENCE (Einstein-Rosen bridges, quantum and time distortion, Alcubierre drives, etc.) and enigmatic, SUPERNATURAL ENTITIES, this story lands within the parameters for a grounded, perplexing sci-fi thriller IN THE VEIN OF Interstellar, the Outer Wilds, No Man’s Sky, and Cowboy Bebop.
Depicting the BEAUTY, WONDER, FEAR, STILLNESS, DREAD, and loneliness inherent IN A BROKEN, starry void… Solar Requiem operates on scale: the colorful inhabited marbles… the gargantuan structures hewn from gas and fire… and the invisible monsters clawing at the very fabric of the universe…
Set in a galaxy undergoing colonization, Solar Requiem explores the clash between means and ends—
…and the supernatural cosmic force that blurs the two.
