This is one of my favorite films we've made in the last few years. Sure, it's different than most sci-fi films in that it doesn't depict a dystopian or utopian society due to technology but shows how things largely stay the same as huge advancements come to pass and we accept them and just move on with our lives. "Memento Mori" is about messages from the future delivered like FedEX, this advancement that first seems like magic, soon just becomes something that happens. One day you're mowing the lawn and a message arrives to tells you you have a message waiting from your future self or loved one. Imagine how that would change our outlook on our lives?

Our YouTube page has been blowing up. Several titles are approaching 1000 views, which I know in the scale of the internet, is a drop in the bucket. But, we are doing it all with just word of mouth and social media posts. When you grow a movement you got to do it from the ground up, and our production company has some huge things coming in 2026 and I hope you'll join us for it all. The one title those that seems to not be getting the love is "Witch Hunt". It's controversial for sure, but also timely. Set in an alternative reality (but everyday feels more like our timeline) where the government has brought back the literal "Witch Trial". Check out this under seen mind f # by clicking below.

One of our favorite films we did over the last few years was "Memento Mori" it's a sci-fi film about technology and the future that isn't dystopian. So often the future is depicted as doom and gloom, but we wanted to tell a story how advancements in technology can impact people's lives in way that could be positive, in this case messages from the future from ourselves that can help us live today. How often do we think, what would I tell my past self about what I've learned in life? Well, here is your chance, but it's important to remember a voice from the past can be as influential as advice from the future.
