Role - World Builder | Director | Animator | Editor | Sound Designer

The Ninth Wave is a sci-fi short film through the eyes of a Bio-Robot. Set in a realm of technological wonders, it offers a deep dive into the existence of an artificial being in a leftover world by humans. In a world where synthetic biology facilitates the use of underwater bio-robots for infrastructural tasks, previously inaccessible and uninhabitable regions devastated by catastrophic floods are now explored.

After intercepting a message from an uncharted territory, an underwater robot embarks on a quest, navigating a dystopian world in the distant future to connect with its envisioned counterpart.
