About this submission
Numinous is a sci-fi short film about a young explorer who ventures to the ancient planet Numina, hunting for traces of an extinct alien race. Inspired by the myth of the Three Fates, the film weaves myth and fantasy into a modern narrative, exploring themes of desire, power, and ambition. I was driven to create this story because I’m passionate about reimagining myths to tell contemporary tales and wanted to explore ambition through the lens of a young female protagonist—a perspective often overlooked in such narratives. Numinous bridges the fantastical with the personal, offering my take on timeless themes.
