Reliance is an animated odyssey, rendered in Unreal Engine 5. A telepathic alien sits marooned on a desolate planet and reaches toward us with its mind alone. The story draws on the fast advance of AI and the strange UFO downing events of early 2023. A signal crosses the dark, addressed to no one in particular. The film sits with isolation, the need for connection, and our dependence on a vast universe. Built with Rokoko Studio, Unreal Engine 5, Substance Painter, and Cinema 4D. It asks one quiet question and lets it hang. What does a mind do when it has no one left to reach?
