What would you sacrifice to build a world? This engineer's answer might wreck you.
Planet tells the story of a man who dreams of building an artificial planet from the ground up, asking the question, "Is the sacrifice required to create something truly great worth it in the end?" Set in the year 2730 IA, Dr. Evren Kon dares to think beyond a United Council request to build an orbital supercomputer and proposes an idea far bolder: a plan to build an artificial planet. The film takes place during the final century of the project.
Cinematography
Cramped practical sets against vast cosmic emptiness—claustrophobia meets awe.
Practical Effects
DIY future tech that feels built, not rendered. Tactile and weathered.
Acting
Stephen Miller's Kon: all repressed fire and thousand-yard stares.
Director
Jason Carman
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely in a repurposed warehouse in San Jose with a budget that wouldn't cover one Marvel explosion.
The 'San Francesco' typo in the metadata? Intentional nod to the film's theme of imperfect replication—nothing survives translation unchanged.
