Echoes of the Fault Line

Deep in a remote, subterranean seismological research facility in the Pacific Northwest, two young tech experts are left to monitor anomalous geological shifts. Elena, a brilliant but detached seismologist, and Maya, an intuitive acoustic engineer, discover an unidentifiable, rhythmic audio pattern vibrating from deep within the earth's crust. As they attempt to map the sound, the frequency begins to trigger vivid, shared hallucinations that warp their sense of time, memory, and trust. Isolated from the outside world by a sudden blizzard, the duo must decipher whether the earth is communicating a global catastrophe, or if the sound is intentionally tearing their minds apart from the inside out.

Surface Tension

In a world where physical appearance can be "downloaded" and swapped via bio-synthetic skins, Dr. Juno Sante is the Chief Aesthetic Officer for L'Image, the world’s most powerful beauty conglomerate. The show explores the dark side of a society that has reached "peak perfection." When a "glitch" begins causing users' original faces to bleed through their synthetic ones, Juno is tasked with a cover-up that leads her to a cult of "Originalists"—people who refuse to alter their natural features. Juno's loyalty is tested when her own synthetic skin begins to fail, revealing a face she hasn't seen in fifteen years.

Estrellas de Humo (Stars of Smoke)

Set in 1958 Havana on the brink of revolution, the series follows Marisol Vega, a legendary bolero singer at the Tropicana Club. While she appears to be the darling of the American mafia and high society, Marisol is actually a high-level asset for a subterranean resistance movement. As the political tension reaches a boiling point, Marisol must use her proximity to a visiting US Senator to steal codes that could change the fate of the Caribbean, all while maintaining her persona as a tragic, love-obsessed diva.

The Gilded Cage

In a near-future Los Angeles where memories can be curated and sold as high-end digital art, Elara Vance is the city’s premier "Fixer." When a billionaire’s digital legacy is corrupted by a virus that reveals a forgotten crime, Elara is hired to scrub the data. However, as she dives into the synthetic memories, she begins to find fragments of her own childhood that shouldn’t exist. She must navigate a labyrinth of corporate espionage and sensory hallucinations to find out if her entire identity is a masterpiece someone else painted.

The Velvet Syndicate

Los Angeles, 1946. The city is booming in the post-war era, but the glittering underground jazz and cabaret scene is firmly under the thumb of a shadowy, ruthless mob syndicate. A charismatic, fiercely independent nightclub singer finds her world shattered when a prominent mob boss is found dead in her dressing room. Knowing the corrupt LAPD has already framed her as the perfect scapegoat, she goes on the run within the confines of the city limits. To clear her name and protect her found family of musicians, she must play a deadly game of chess involving rival gangsters, Hollywood elites, and dirty politicians, using her intellect and insider knowledge of the clubs to unravel a conspiracy that reaches the mayor's office.

Vintage Cut

The world of high-end vintage fashion archival is cutthroat, but no one is sharper than a disgraced former fashion editor who was blacklisted from the industry. Broke but resourceful, she secretly assembles a diverse crew of young, disgruntled industry insiders—interns, stylists, and counterfeit experts—to execute elaborate heists. Their targets are priceless, historically significant garments (like a 1995 Mugler couture dress or an authentic McQueen corset) hoarded by corrupt billionaires and unappreciative socialites. As the crew gains notoriety on the black market, they must navigate rival syndicates, their own massive egos, and a relentless Interpol agent who specializes in art and textile crime.

The Synthesis of Us

Set in a near-future 2030s where hyper-personalized virtual realities have largely replaced physical social interaction, the film follows a brilliant but reclusive sensory architect. Her job is to design bespoke digital utopias for ultra-wealthy clients. Everything changes when she discovers a "glitch" in the source code of a new server: a lingering, unprogrammed consciousness of a woman tied to a tragic event in the city's past. As she secretly dives deeper into the simulation to erase the anomaly, she becomes entangled in a dangerous, shifting landscape of memory manipulation. She soon realizes the glitch isn't a digital error, but a suppressed, localized memory of her own that a mega-tech corporation is desperately trying to overwrite.

Descendants: Reborn — Wicked Roots: "Every villain was once just a child without a choice."

Queen Beatrice "Bea" Charming (son of Cinder & Princess Charming) — gentle, idealistic, and newly crowned — proposes a radical act of grace: invite four kids of infamous villains to attend the prestigious Auradon Prep. Her king-in-waiting, the fierce and elegant Auby (son of Sleeping Handsome's Aubert), is not pleased. The four chosen kids are: Malachai "Mal" De Vil (son of Cruelo De Vil), a sharp-tongued charmer and street artist; Evander (son of the Evil King), vain, ambitious, and obsessed with handsomeness; Carla Jay (daughter of Jaanar), clever and inventive but desperate for her mother's approval; and Douglas "Doug" (son of Malefico), brooding and powerful, heir to the darkest magic on the Isle. Sent to steal Fairy Godfather's magic wand on behalf of their parents, the four kids begin to discover something dangerous: they actually like Auradon. As Bea falls for the magnetic Malachai, and alliances fracture under pressure, Douglas must choose between his father's ambition and the first real friend he has ever had. The wand is stolen — but in the climactic showdown, Douglas turns against the darkness, and the kids earn their place in the kingdom.

Horizon’s Edge

After a global event causes the oceans to recede by hundreds of miles, new, uncharted lands emerge. Michael B. Jordan is Commander Jaxen Reed, a former naval officer leading an expedition into the "Deep Dry"—the newly exposed seabed. Shay Mitchell plays Dr. Aris Thorne, an unconventional marine biologist who suspects the water didn't just disappear, but was "pushed" by something sentient. As they navigate salt-crusted canyons and skeletal shipwrecks, they encounter a primitive, territorial civilization that has lived in the depths for centuries.

Blood & Ivory

Set in 1920s Paris, this stylish miniseries follows two world-class thieves from different backgrounds. Jordan is Julian St. Claire, a decorated WWI veteran turned high-stakes burglar who targets the colonial artifacts of the corrupt.

They are forced to work together to pull off the ultimate heist: stealing a legendary diamond from a heavily guarded fortress during the Exposition Internationale.

Static Pulse

In a near-future Detroit, "memory dampening" has become a regulated commodity for the elite. Michael B. Jordan stars as Elias Vane, a high-end "Architect" who designs curated synthetic memories to replace traumatic ones. Shay Mitchell plays Sloane Whitaker, a corporate investigator who realizes her own memories of a high-profile conspiracy have been tampered with by Vane’s firm. When Elias discovers a "glitch" in Sloane’s psyche that could unravel the city’s social fabric, the two form an uneasy alliance to recover the truth before their own identities are permanently rewritten.

Aftermath Protocol: After the war ends, the real war begins.

When a coordinated EMP event takes down power grids across the eastern seaboard, the government's classified recovery playbook — the Aftermath Protocol — is activated. Marcus Webb, 37, a FEMA crisis architect who helped write the protocol, discovers within hours that the attack was partially anticipated and deliberately under-reported. Nadia Cho, 30, a field journalist already embedded in Baltimore covering infrastructure decay, starts broadcasting raw footage that contradicts every official statement. And Raymond Holt, 60, a disgraced former NSA director now living off-grid in Vermont, knows exactly who did this — because he helped them set the conditions. Season 1 covers the 30 days following the attack. Season 2 moves into the political and criminal reckoning that follows.

Noche Eterna: She disappeared. He never stopped looking. She wishes he had.

In 2010, Elena Ribas vanished the night before the premiere of her life's defining composition. Her husband Tristán spent the following decade and his entire fortune trying to find her — and became a ghost of himself in the process. Detective Camila Lim, who worked the original case as a junior officer, gets an anonymous tip and discovers Elena living voluntarily in a Cistercian monastery under a different name. But Elena's return is not a rescue — it is a reckoning. What Tristán, Camila, and ultimately the audience discover is that Elena's disappearance was itself an act of composition: planned, precise, and devastating. A film about autonomy, obsession, and who holds the right to another person's life.

Inheritance: We bury our fathers. We become them anyway.

Henri Beaumont dies on a Tuesday. By Thursday evening, his three sons — each raised separately, each told the others did not exist — convene at the family estate to hear the will read. Santiago, the eldest, believed he was an only child and the legitimate heir. Marcus, the second, was raised working-class in the Tremé and carries the anger to prove it. Théo, the youngest, is a 28-year-old artist from Paris who speaks French and broken English and wants nothing but the truth about his mother. Over two days and nights — in kitchens, porches, and the dead man's study — the three men negotiate grief, rage, entitlement, and an unexpected inheritance that is not about money. The play is performed without intermission in its full 2h 40m running time, with a jazz score performed live onstage.

The Copper Coast: A town's silence has a price.

Fintan Morrigan was run out of Duncarraig in 1993 after his pollution report was buried by the fishing conglomerate that owned half the county. Now 58, weathered and half-sober, he returns when a teenager's body surfaces in the same waters. Amara Cole arrives from Chicago to film a climate-grief documentary and quickly realizes the story is something far darker. Together — and in tension — they pull at threads that lead to the church, the council, and Fintan's own guilt about what he knew and said nothing about decades ago. A slow-burn, storm-drenched mystery in the tradition of Irish noir.

Carnaval Negro: Every dynasty wears a mask.

Over four intense days, old wounds reopen, moral lines dissolve, and a choice must be made between legacy and truth. Shot in Geneva, Brussels, and Kinshasa.

Between Two Moons: Fall in love. Lose yourself. Find out who you were all along

A live stage musical set across two timelines — 1970s disco-era New York and present-day Berlin.
