Hi everyone,
I’m Alfie, a 21-year-old filmmaking student from the UK, and I’ve just released a cyberpunk short film called ECLIPSIA: DOMINION.
The film is set in a dystopian city ruled by surveillance and control, following Kain, an elite enforcer who begins questioning the system he serves after hunting down a wanted rebel.
What makes this project special to me is that it was made with essentially no budget. The production was only possible thanks to a group of incredibly talented people who volunteered their time and skills:
Actors who worked for free because they believed in the project.
My university allowing us access to their virtual production studio.
Fellow students and volunteers helping create and operate the digital environments.
Musician Konstantin Dellos, who generously allowed me to license his music for the film.
As a lifelong fan of cyberpunk worlds like Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077, this was my attempt to create a cinematic cyberpunk story despite having almost no financial resources.
The film took months of planning, filming, VFX work, and post-production, and I’d genuinely love to hear what cyberpunk fans think of it.

I’d be happy to answer any questions about how we made it, the virtual production workflow, or the VFX process.
