Inspired by Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, we proudly present "The Lost Ones". In anticipation of the release of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, we wanted to explore and speculate on the journey of Senua between the events of the first and second games. From leaving Hel, to where we might find Senua in the opening moments of Senua's Saga. Our crew had been fans of Hellblade since its release in 2017, and after expressing our excitement for the upcoming sequel, we decided to create a short film together as a love letter to the series. Starring: Allison Dayne as Senua Michelle Pokopac as the Morrigan Blair Phillips as the Fomorian and Katie Nixon as Galena. With Furies: Megan Ciafre Marley Tressler Kristen Nielsen Katie Nixon Directed by Braden McClain So to Ninja Theory and the entire crew of the Hellblade series, we say, "Thank You." Thank you for making such a powerful project that resonated so deeply with your community. Thank you for your masterful treatment and care regarding Mental Health.

This short film was born from a simple idea: to create a story larger than its means. Though written by a human, the film was brought to life entirely through the use of artificial intelligence, from imagery to narration. By harnessing AI tools, the project transcended the traditional limits of budget and location, proving that meaningful storytelling is no longer confined by circumstance. This experiment is not about replacing the human voice, but amplifying it. PURPOSE invites viewers into a visual parable set against the unforgiving desert, a landscape that serves as a metaphor for the hardest seasons of life. Through subtext and intimate narration, the film explores the weight we carry, the unseen voices that depend on our journey, and the hope that persists even when answers remain beyond the horizon. This short film transforms the desertscape into a mirror of our existence, offering not resolution but reflection, a reminder that beyond hardship lies not triumph, but purpose.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest
