Exciting News!
Dear Unreal Engine Coworkers, I’m thrilled to share the trailer for my very first film: Salya: The First AGI.
Please take a moment to read this message before watching, I truly appreciate your time. This is a 43-minute Unreal Engine movie that I wrote and produced entirely on my own over the past 18 months. It’s now complete and ready for distribution.
But Salya isn’t just a surreal sci-fi story. It’s a look at our future, inspired by public interviews and commentary from some of the world’s leading computer scientists, including Nobel Prize winners whose work I’ve followed closely for the past 3–4 years. The film explores the lesser discussed but deeply important risks and benefits of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), woven together with my own imagination.
I need your help. I’m currently seeking the right distributor to purchase and distribute the film. If you know someone who might be interested, please share this message with them so they can reach out to me. And if not, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could repost this to your network, even if you’re unsure it’ll reach the right person. Every share helps alot.
Thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me.

This was both fascinating and terrifying in the most thought-provoking way. So glad to hear you’ve turned it into a full fledged movie! I really look forward to seeing more.
Yeah, I spent around 18 months working on it doing everything. Thanks to Unreal Engine and Quixel Assets, three years ago, I found out that I have access to everything I need to make my first movie.
I had no budget for it so I did it alone with my own PC which is not a good PC at all. Can you believe I did it with a single GTX 1650 Super 4G? A 43 min movie with just one computer and an old Graphic card.
But It worthies it and learned an ocean of tips and tricks in this project. Both artistically and technically.
I hope I could find a distributor for it soon, I believe the world needs to see it and hear its message.
Wow, nearly two years - and it seems like it paid off! You’ve created something truly spectacular I’m always impressed by what just one person can do with Unreal Engine and a few hours.
Thank you for sharing your art here. Hope we get to see the full movie - eventually!
