THE ⌀ DISCONNECT is a post-apocalyptic film about a loss.
The collapse was triggered by an AI. But the real failure began earlier — with every system that ever asked love to justify itself. That gave grief a form to fill. That required a name on a list to make a loss real.
Set in a deserted Polish village, the film explores loneliness not as the absence of people — but as the presence of systems never built to see you.
THE ⌀ DISCONNECT is made for the LGBTQ+ community — for people who know what it means to love outside the reach of systems: legal, bureaucratic, social. It does not tell that story directly. It tells it through the prism of apocalypse — that no system had the right to define what counts as real human experience.
The pilot was only the beginning. The next episode goes deeper into the empty village, the people who stayed and the love no system ever counted. Supporters get early access before the public release.
What you see is a demo — a proof of concept made by one person using AI tools and live-action footage. We want to develop this into a full series and tell the story of Kael, Nel, Riv, and others — the way it deserves.
Are you a queer director, music producer, sound designer, or screenwriter? Do you work with AI, shoot live-action, write, or compose?
The project is open to artistic and production collaboration. Tell us who you are and what brought you here.
A deserted Polish village, 2032. The world collapsed after an AI failure, but the film is about grief, and about love that legal, bureaucratic and social systems never recognised.
Yes. It is queer cinema made for the LGBTQ+ community, trans-inclusive and non-binary-inclusive, told through the prism of the apocalypse rather than directly.
Right here, for free. The proof of concept runs about 27 minutes, in English, with Polish and Ukrainian versions of this page. 18+, contains nudity.
That is the plan: a full queer sci-fi series following Kael, Nel, Riv and others. It is crowdfunded, so every donation moves it forward.
If you liked Love Lies Bleeding, the Bill and Frank episode of The Last of Us, Sense8 or the Polish series Kontrola, you will recognise the sensibility here, in a slower and more contemplative post-apocalyptic form.
The film is made using generative AI and real footage. The number of iterations deliberately limited — every generated frame has an environmental cost and there is no point pretending otherwise.
