Step Into the Void – A Community Casting Invitation

The Void is almost finished.

For the past several weeks, I’ve been building the central entity of EXILED by hand — designing, sculpting, testing, painting, experimenting with light. This creature isn’t CGI. It isn’t an afterthought.

It’s practical. Physical. Present.

And soon, it steps into the world for the first time.

When it does, one person from this community will step in with it.

The Invitation

I’m selecting one subscriber from the EXILED mailing list to receive:

An on-screen extra appearance in the film

A “Special Thanks” credit in EXILED

A signed physical piece from the original Void creature build

This is not a random gimmick.

This film is being built in the open. Documented in real time. Independent. Self-financed. Personal.

If you’ve been following the journey, you already know — this project is about alienation, erasure, and what it means to stand alone while the world looks away.

Now you have the opportunity to physically stand inside that world.

Already Subscribed?

If you’re already on the mailing list, you’re automatically entered.

No extra steps required.

If you’re not — this is your window.

Why the Mailing List Matters

Social platforms come and go. Algorithms shift. Posts disappear.

The mailing list is where I share:

Behind-the-scenes production updates

Creature build progress

Casting and crew announcements

Festival plans

Early access to trailers and screenings

Exclusive opportunities like this one

If you want direct access to what’s being built — not filtered through an algorithm — that’s where it lives.

Deadline

The drawing closes April 30th 2026.

The Void is almost here.

You can watch it from the outside…

Or step into the frame.
