“A single spark can outlive a star…”
This film project 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’s an emotional reflection of my own life spanning 11 interwoven films built from decades of creature stories, orchestral music, art, and personal growth. Each film is a standalone story but also a critical thread in the greater tapestry of this beast of a saga.
It’s the universal cry in all of us.

FOLLOW ME TO ELESS...
What is Eless?
In the dark reaches of SPACE, a brilliant blue planet, EYELIM, rests peacefully amongst the stars….
Its oceans cover nearly everything.
Its kingdoms were built on the ruins of something long ago.
And every story inside Durbania eventually leads there.
A small island called, “Eless”.
Durbania has been with me for over two decades. What started as sketches, music, dreams, late night ideas, and unanswered questions slowly became something much larger than I ever expected. A connected series of films about love, loss, time, and the strange feeling that certain moments in life linger just a little bit longer than they should.
At the center of it all is Kings & Kingdoms … a mythic story set on the distant world of Eyelim. But to reach it, the journey begins somewhere much smaller and more human … a road in 1990, a quiet decision, a family, a storm. If given a chance, would we try again?
Each project (like a video game) builds toward the next. Every film carries pieces of the larger story. (Story-wise and Financially) The early chapters are intimate and reflective. The later ones expand into something much bigger. In many ways, the first eight films are all part of the same origin story leading toward Eless.
Why spend 25 years building something like this?
Honestly… I’m still figuring that out myself and with AI’s ever-growing and expanding creative partnership, I’ve made some bold decisions in my personal and professional career and I’m taking what I’ve learned and failed miserably and applying that with Durbania. I think we all have a little bit of Durbania in us and I’m excited to share this with the world.
Maybe some ideas stay with you because they’re meant to. Maybe they become part of who you are. Either way, the road has already started moving beneath my feet, and I’d love for you to come along for the ride.
Suit up.
FIRST OF THE FATHERs (Trilogy)
#1. "First of the Fathers – ep1. Pursuit of the Ghost"
“What does your heart tell you?”
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 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. "First of the Fathers – ep2. 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. "First of the Fathers – ep3. A Day Away"

A car wash engineer discovers a cache of biotech secrets and blood money, triggering a violent desert confrontation that forces a terminal man to sacrifice everything for his family’s future.
CRISTO (Trilogy)
#4. "Cristo – Ep1. Rise of Mahlen"
“To change the world, you have to let go of the one you lost.”
Two friends stand at the edge of a new technological era—one driven by logic, the other by memory. As discovery and ambition ignite a global shift, their alliance begins to fray beneath the strain of personal loss. This is the beginning of an empire… and the first crack in its foundation.
#5. "Cristo – Ep2. Empires"
“Some legacies are built. Others are buried.”
The world is changing faster than anyone expected. Amid growing unrest and innovation, the lines between love, identity, and control begin to blur. This chapter explores how far someone will go to bring back what they’ve lost—and what happens when they succeed.
#6. "Cristo – Ep3. Rise of Cristo"
“To save them, he must leave them behind.”
With the future at stake, a final choice must be made between preservation and transformation. As the sky darkens and systems fail, one generation steps forward with a last hope to carry something good into tomorrow. This is where the threads tighten… and launch.
ASC / DSC (DUOLOGY)
#7. "Nebo"
“Some futures must be buried… so that others may grow.”
In deep space, a drifting vessel holds the last fragments of humanity’s former world. Tension builds as trust erodes, and whispers of betrayal grow louder among the stars. As the ship changes course, the passengers must confront what it means to begin again… or be erased forever.
#8. "Try Again 3742"
“A void. A low, churning hum.
Then: a flicker of light.
A digital system booting up
…PROJECT 3742 initializing.”
Inside a perfect simulation, time is a mirror and choice is a weapon. A man is tested in ways he can’t explain, revisiting his greatest failures in a loop that tightens with each pass. This is a haunting, introspective descent into cause, effect, and the impossible cost of letting go.
KINGS & KINGDOMS (TRILOGY)
#9. "Kings and Kingdoms – Ep1. Eless"
On a world nearly drowned in ocean, a boy is rescued from war and raised in secret. As he comes of age, he begins to sense something beneath the surface… an energy buried in the land, in the people, and in himself. This is the opening of a mythic journey, told through wind, fire, and stone.
#10 "Kings and Kingdoms – Ep2. Loocken"
Exiled to the frozen forests of the North, the journey deepens into the heart of legacy and loss. Among wolves and warriors, secrets rise from the ground itself. What began as survival becomes something far more sacred… and dangerous.
#11 "Kings and Kingdoms – Ep3. A Better Place"
The world stands on the brink of collapse, and only a few remain who still believe it can be saved. With time running out, one choice will echo backward and forward… Across every decision… Across every age… Every breath. This is where the cycle ends… and begins again.
