🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.

In a quiet corner of rural New Zealand, a teenage boy holds the key to the greatest discovery of our time. The world is tough for our young genius who’s largely misunderstood by the people around him. What he doesn’t realise is that by building The Machine, he’s started a chain of events that could, if it works, change the course of history forever.

Director's Statement:
Life can be a drag sometimes — so if I can create an experience where you can switch off and be transported to another world, even if it’s just for 15 minutes... then I’ve done my job.
