Shades of Time

Short Film | Neo-Noir | Psychological Thriller | AI-Infused Narrative

In a city where morality is as gray as the skyline, a seasoned detective walks the line between justice and judgment — not as a protector, but as an executioner. Haunted by a violent past and disillusioned by the system he once served, he believes there are no good or bad people — only moments shaped by fate, trauma, and timing.

Born into darkness and raised among the wicked, he now sees himself as a necessary force — purging those he deems born from the same broken mold. With the help of an experimental AI surveillance system that profiles emotional instability and latent criminal tendencies, he selects his targets with surgical precision.

But as his body count rises, so does the AI’s sentience — and the line between calculated justice and delusional righteousness begins to blur.
Is he cleansing the city, or becoming its darkest symptom?

"Shades of Time" is a mind-bending exploration of morality, justice, and the human condition — where even killers believe they're saving the world.
