“Every system has an edge. You just have to know where to look.” — Luis de Palencia
The Concept
Following an intense heist, the subject cracks a code that allows him to disappear, only to find himself skipping across multiple realities looking for a way out.
He encounters countless versions of himself. Every world where he is a duplicate collapses from within, leaving him just enough time to find the gateway into the next.
The Strategy
Runway‘s Big Pitch competition asked for a fictional episodic series concept.
Rather than starting from scratch, the brief became an opportunity to expand an existing universe.
CINCH introduced Luis de Palencia, devoted, sharp, unshakable under pressure. This film reveals what he was after and what it cost him. One Week in Eternity concludes the story. Three separate open calls. One continuous narrative arc.
The Man at the Edge of Reality is the bridge, the moment the character’s mythology deepens from a heist film into something stranger and more personal.
Design Direction
Every visual decision was deliberate. Character design drew on specific cultural and genealogical references rooted in the Luis de Palencia lore.
Aesthetic principles balanced the artistic vision of The Edge of Reality series developed between 2019 and 2021.
Digital collage principles applied to the creator scenes made this a mixed media production, leaning toward an artistic universe rather than simulated hyper-reality.
Production
30-second cinematic film. AI driven shot structure, camera language, pacing, glitch and slow motion sequences, underwater photography. Video generation through node-based workflows inside Runway’s ecosystem.
Post-production including color correction, compositing, and editing in After Effects. Voice in ElevenLabs. Original score and sound design built from scratch.
