The Seeds of Orion

The Seeds of Orion

Cosmic fable · 2025

Earth is silent. Humanity survives as embryos aboard a deep-space vessel. Teagan is their lone caretaker.

The film

What remains of a human life?

Her days repeat until a dream breaks the loop: an octopus moving through an ocean she has never known. She remembers a father who taught her the stars and a mother whose voice has faded with Earth. The memories were implanted. Are the feelings they awaken her own?

As the boundary between programming and consciousness blurs, Teagan confronts what it means to be human when humanity itself is a distant memory.

A cosmic fable adapted from Born in Space by Jeremy Clift.
