Blast off on a wild space adventure! We're crammed into our battered little Subi spacecraft, heading to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum. Our mission: to reach the ocean planet of Oceanus Station. Join us as we station-hop through space, in a calamity of errors, as intrepid space tourists. Script Our battered Subi spacecraft, a relic of pre-Collapse Jump engineering, groaned under the weight. Myself, BK, and Katcha, the genetically modified spoodle with its enhanced olfactory sensors, along with enough protein paste to outlast a minor vacuum breach, were crammed inside. A brand-new Brass Monkey cryo-unit hummed in the boot, our lifeline for the long haul. Our mission: a jump from Beagal's orbital dock to the dusty outpost of Outpost Aurum, a waypoint on the long haul to Oceanus Station, a planet known for vast oceans. Outpost Aurum, a rumoured oasis of functional grav plating, was our first target. Beagal's orbital dock was a pressure cooker of recycled air and stal...

Finding Timelessness in a Simulated World
Description
This short film explores reality, illusion, and the search for meaning in a seemingly perfect, technologically advanced world. Journey to the Hypostyle, a place where the truth is revealed. What would you choose: blissful ignorance or the raw, unadorned truth?
Scenes
Scene 1 - The utopian illusion.
Technology and life are seamlessly integrated into this world, creating a mesmerising illusion of nature that conceals the truth of its existence. In this technologically advanced world, the line between nature and artifice has blurred into nonexistence. Every aspect of life is interwoven with technology, creating an immersive experience indistinguishable from the natural world. The air you breathe, the water you drink, and the ground you walk on are all meticulously crafted illusions.
Scene 2 - The discovery of the hypostyle hall.
The Hypostyle Hall, with its towering pillars and soft diffusion of natural light, creates an atmosphere that encourages introspection and contemplation. While initially imposing, the structure's grandeur highlights the ephemeral nature of individual existence and the enduring strength of collective unity. Within this space, the pursuit of utopia is stripped of its embellishments and revealed as a fundamental truth.
The hall transcends its physical form and becomes a sanctuary for self-discovery. Here, the carefully constructed masks and roles that individuals adopt in society are shed, revealing the unadorned essence of the self. This process of self-revelation is not merely an isolation exercise but is deeply intertwined with understanding one's place within the larger community. The hall fosters an environment where individuals can connect with their authentic selves while recognising their interconnectedness with others.
Scene 3 - Awakening the timeless self.
The hall is a virtual space that transcends illusion, with walls and columns radiating a raw, unadorned authenticity. Here, the grandeur of artifice gives way to something more profound and enduring, a quiet, almost defiant simplicity. The stark geometry and unembellished surfaces serve as a rebuke to excess, revealing that true power lies not in consumption but in the sense of timelessness. This is where the inner eye finds rest, and the mind is drawn not to the spectacle but to the quiet authority of the structure itself. In a world consumed by extravagance, it becomes an imagined sanctuary of honesty, a refuge of silence. It is a time of no change where illusions are pleasantly ignored.
Scene 4 - Turn towards stone.
The Hypostyle Hall no longer needed to exist in form. Its presence alone was enough. The pillars no longer held weight, nor did the walls contain space. In this boundless silence, Ishana felt the shedding of time itself. Her pulse slowed, synchronising with something more ancient than memory, more constant than breath. The illusion of movement, progress, and decay collapsed into a singular, unchanging moment.
She stepped forward, yet there was no distance to cross. The hall existed within her now, not as architecture but as knowing. The digital hum of the outside world faded, and the stillness of permanence came into its place. This was not stagnation but a return to a reawakening. For the first time, she was neither an observer nor a participant. She simply was.
Scene 5 - Listening to the language of silence.
Ishana stood at the heart of the Hypostyle Hall, where silence spoke a language beyond words. As she stepped beyond its pillars, the world’s hum faded, replaced by the pulse of something ancient. Her stillness became a beacon, drawing others to pause, listen, and remember.
One by one, they slowed. In the quiet, they heard what had always been there. Within themselves, they could listen to the rhythm of rain, the breath of leaves, the distant hum of unseen wings. Yet, they had to confront the disconnection woven into their lives to hear this silence. Some resisted, clinging to the noise of their world. But others stood still, sensing a deeper belonging—not to the artifice of their utopia but to the eternal weave of life itself.
Slowly, the community shifted. Simulated gardens gave way to wild growth, and stone pathways invited footsteps over digital illusions. We stand within a sanctuary where those who listened could awaken to the timeless self within.
Scene 6 You are not alone.
In the quiet aftermath of a self-inflicted revelation, Ishana stands at a crossroads. The comforting veil of simulated perfection now appears fragile and almost transparent. But who would want to dismantle a seamless illusion? Ishana faces a stark choice: retreat to the familiar and bask in the blissful ignorance of a crafted utopia, or embrace the raw, unadorned truth that has constructed the Hypostyle Hall. This is a moment of significant decision. Will she freeze, fight, or flee? When everyone recognises their shared paradox, will they cling to the artifice, actively forge a new reality, or step forward? You are not alone.

DAY ONE Our trusty Subaru Forester was packed with me, my partner Brenda, Katchalla (our concerned but enthusiastic spoodle), and enough snacks to survive a tiny apocalypse. With our brand new Brass Monkey securely tucked into the boot, we set off on our mission: the first leg of an epic journey from Darwin to Ulladulla, NSW, with Daly Waters shimmering in our minds as our initial oasis. We departed from Darwin, the tropical humidity clinging to us like a second skin. After about 98 kilometers, the promise of caffeine lured us into the Adelaide River Country Store. Brenda, ever the coffee connoisseur, declared their coffee to be "a damn good coffee," which is a high compliment indeed. Meanwhile, Katcha sniffed around, searching for the right spot to relieve himself and stumbled upon the store's no dickhead policy. Back on the Stuart Highway, the landscape began to slowly transform. The lush greens of Darwin gradually gave way to the more resilient vegetation of the outb...
