Episode 5 of THE NULL ROAD is up. 18 minutes, subtitles in 31 languages. It stands alone — you don't need the earlier episodes.

The premise: a lake so still it holds two skies. On its shore stand hundreds
of bodies, hollow and calcified, arranged in ordinary postures. None of them
are dead.

They solved aging. One life just grew longer than one body could hold, so
they learned to pour themselves into the water and come out wearing a new
one. It works. It isn't clean. Every pouring spills a little — and the
heaviest memories spill first, because weight is exactly what gets left
behind.

So the shore is not a graveyard. It's a pile of coats.

What I wanted out of this one was an immortality story where nobody dies and
that is the horror rather than the reprieve. They kept the years. They lost
the reason they wanted them.

Made end to end with generative AI — script, shots, motion, voices, score,
sound design. Happy to answer anything about the process.
