LOOP (2026)

In a not-so-distant tomorrow, where automation has erased nearly every traditional job, painter Zoe Pearce battles a deep creative and emotional void. Out of nowhere, she lands a spot as a finalist in the legendary "Universe Challenge"—a once-in-a-lifetime contest whose grand prize is the most sought-after prize known to humankind: a fully bespoke digital reality. In that flawless virtual realm, all grief, hurt, and negative feelings are surgically removed, offering a perfect, pain-free existence. But for Zoe, the choice between a numb, utopian escape and the raw, messy truth of her art may be the hardest masterpiece she’ll ever have to make.
