Acting
Findlay's face does 90% of the storytelling. Devastating.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on a shoestring budget in a single room with practical LED screens — the vastness of space was entirely built, not rendered.
The film's title refers to liminal space — transitional, unsettling, between states. Riley exists between Earth and nowhere; AURA between tool and being.
