Director Statement

Throughout my career as a director, I've been captivated by the process of crafting new worlds and weaving my mystery through innovative concepts. The universe of The Space Messenger represents the culmination of my passion for worldbuilding.

I wanted to create this production as a commentary on the increasing innovation of artificial intelligence and love as an emotion, further exploring the feelings and experimenting with how an artificially intelligent being would experience love.
