Blood/CLAN: Book of Syn is an epic sci-fi/fantasy narrative fiction project I wrote as part one of the Blood/CLAN trilogy of films. It tells the story of a gifted, but troubled, young woman with animalistic eyes named “Syn” who goes from being the hunted to the hunter as she sets out on her quest for revenge on everyone who’s caused her pain in life…no matter the costs. Set on a futuristic world, this project, while primarily meant as entertainment, will also be thought provoking as it will explore topics such as geopolitics, nature vs nurture and myth vs legend. I love worldbuilding and my dream is to create a world blending the ancient (hunter-gatherer-warrior style clans & melee weapons like spears & swords) the futuristic (spacecraft) and fantasy (enhanced beings & sorcery) to create my own world inspired by films like as Dune, Star Wars & Lord of the Rings.
