Active Slate & System Deployments
The studio is currently accepting select commissions while simultaneously expanding the Aevara Cinematic Universe as time permits. Moving beyond the events of Lumivex and Earth Day, our current production slate focuses on deepening the narrative timeline through episodic storytelling and upcoming graphic novel volumes.
The timeline is executing. The next artifacts are underway.
PARTNER NARRATIVES
Gulf of Siam, 1908​​​​​​​
A vertical narrative set along Siamese Bay, Thailand.
A father goes out with the tide to fish. A mother prepares the day's meal with what the sea provides. A child waits — watching, listening, anticipating the moment the table comes together.
It is a study of family rhythm, where labor, care, and expectation form a single continuous line from sea to home. The light is low, the work is old, and the day moves the way days have always moved here — by the water, and by the patience it asks of those who live beside it.
But the sea brings more than the catch. On this coast, in this year, something arrives that the village has been waiting for — as it has waited before, and will wait again. A gift from beyond the horizon, welcomed at the shore. The family at the center of this story does not know they are standing at the beginning of something. Few ever do.
Gulf of Siam, 1908 is a Monterey Photography Studios partner narrative — and the earliest known chapter of the Aevara Cinematic Universe.
Aevara Universe — CHARACTER PROLOGUES
Every face has a story. Every silence has a secret.
Beyond the catastrophic airway attacks and brutal harvests of Artifacts I and II are the people left behind in the wreckage—the individuals who actually have to live with the consequences of the timeline's most pivotal moments.
Character Prologues is a new, ongoing collection of cinematic vignettes that step away from the grand spectacle of global events to look closer at the intimate realities of the Aevara universe. These shorts bring the camera right up to the edge, exposing the raw ambitions, conflicting loyalties, quiet sacrifices, and hidden struggles that have played out just beyond the frame.
From synthetic workers navigating a world of impossible expectations to the cold architects, desperate survivors, and dangerous visionaries pulling the strings from the shadows, these stories explore the human and mechanical beating heart of the universe.
You've seen the timeline. Now meet the people who made it.
This is where the universe becomes personal.
