Synopsis/Details
A generation after the plebian revolution, a vengeful Axel Gemini reigns as king and forces members of the old aristocrat class to live in poverty. Astromach battles are now as common as Friday night football games with many aristocrats fighting to earn money to eat. Enter Cuda, a very gifted fighter who fights to the death regularly to feed himself and his best friend, Ryon, who is confined to a wheelchair. When Cuda is unable to get to a match in time, Ryon is forced to take his place or risk losing their only source of income. Ryon dons the starmor for the first time ever and discovers… He can walk. It’s exhilarating. But short lived as he must focus for his first ever Astromach battle. Ryon manages to win the match. Barely. He only wins due to an extremely high neurokinetic level making him more powerful than most. The high level catches the attention of Eli, an ex-astromach. Eli offers to train Ryon in exchange for winnings should Ryon survive the Battle Royale. Becoming the victor of a Royale is the only known way of escaping the lower class… Ryon can struggle to survive his entire life...or he can fight.

I've since worked on countless sets of all sizes in several different departments (camera, electric, grip, production… Go to bio
