Once Again: The Start of it All

2026 · 15 min

A short, earnest sci-fi drama that trades spectacle for quiet urgency and a father's grief.

Directed by
Brian Amadi
Overview
In the year 2509, Dr. Obi Iheuche, a brilliant scientist and devoted father, is racing against time to save his terminally ill daughter. As Obi secretly develops a device capable of altering time itself, his work draws the attention of the institution for which he works. This film is an Afro-futurist meditation on fatherhood, memory, and the cost of love under unforgiving systems.
