Sempiterno is an interactive short film that explores the consequences of suicide and its impact on social, personal, and family levels. Unlike traditional films, it is an executable file developed in Unreal Engine 5, blending cinematic storytelling with a video game-style experience. The project follows a 3D character, created by me, guiding users through metaphorical environments that represent different mental states—from a dark forest to a vibrant field of flowers. The experience is divided into episodes (3 shortfilms), allowing users to navigate through choices that shape their journey. The project integrates three main components: 3D character animation, interactive selection and programming in Unreal 5, and three different shortfilms. Now I'm currently looking for festivals and incubators that can accommodate this hybrid format, merging film, gaming, and interactive storytelling.
