🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.
In a dystopian realm where consciousness is encased within neural implants, Logan, a solitary Decksdark, finds himself intertwined with an ethereal entity.

More About “Decksdark”:
In a world where Neural Implants are mandatory, a reclusive man named Logan lives off the grid. When he connects with the consciousness of a long-lost rebel named Indigo through a forgotten Neuralink, an unexpected bond forms. As their connection deepens, the authorities close in—forcing Logan to choose between silence and survival. What follows is a poetic journey through memory, resistance, and the power of human connection in a world stripped of both.
Director’s Statement:
Decksdark was born from my fascination with AI and the growing tension between technology and human connection. Set in a future where Neural Implants have become tools of control, the film explores the longing to escape a hyper-connected world and rediscover freedom through nature and self-awareness. At its heart are Logan and Indigo—two souls from different times who find solace in each other, defying a society built on surveillance and conformity. Making this film was deeply personal; as writer, director, producer, and financier, I poured everything into it to share a message I believe in: that true magic exists not in machines, but in nature, human connection, and the courage to seek the unknown.
