“A single spark can outlive a star…
if someone remembers to carry it.”
This is my Lord of the Rings in Space. Durbania is a cinematic universe that goes beyond genre to explore identity, family, legacy, and the deep hope we all carry to leave this world better than we found it. It is both intimate and epic, familiar and otherworldly. It is an emotional reflection of my own life, spanning 11 interwoven films built from decades of stories, music, art, and personal growth. Each film is a standalone story but also a critical thread in the greater tapestry of the saga. This is the beginning of something much bigger than just one movie… It’s the universe in all of us.
#1. "Pursuit of the Ghost"
“When memory fails, follow your heart.”
Set in the misty forests outside Seattle in the year 1990, Pursuit of the Ghost follows Meredith, a young woman who survives a devastating car crash and wakes up in a remote cabin with a quiet stranger named Sam who claims to have rescued her. As she recovers, Meredith begins to unravel not just the mystery of her accident but also buried family trauma, a fractured relationship with her devout mother, and the unspoken weight of a one-night stand that may have changed her life forever. Trapped between memory and myth, she must decide whether to return to the world she left behind or stay hidden in a place that feels both dreamlike and inevitable.
#2. "The Box"
“In a town full of secrets, only a child’s imagination can light the way.”
When the Munchenbach family moves to a quiet mining town for a fresh start, young Brad and his younger brother Geoff begin to explore the strange, dusty corners of their new world. As their mother Meredith tries to hold things together, the boys retreat into a growing world of forts, make-believe quests, and unsettling neighbors. But when Geoff vanishes without a trace, Brad must follow the thread of his brother’s imagination as its one filled with knights, ogres, and a towering beacon. Here, they uncover a truth more haunting than fiction.
#3. "A Day Away"
“Sometimes, doing the right thing takes everything you’ve got… and a little more.“
When a humble car wash technician discovers a winning lottery ticket and a classified biotech folder in a customer’s abandoned vehicle, he’s forced to choose between wealth and integrity. But his decision sparks a chain of events that lead to sacrifice, fatherhood… and a future that may one day change the world.
