Survivors Guide to Earth is a poetic, irreverent, funny, and thoroughly researched film that reimagines human history, economics, consciousness, and ethics as one grand, immersive game.
Structured as voiceover-led game guide, it takes the audience through 12 conceptual chapters— each styled as a quest or revelation — designed to reorient how we understand reality, civilization, and purpose.
The core metaphor is a game where the players (you) have forgotten the objective of the game.
The film introduces fundamental limitations of human perception—our inability to grasp space, time, or memory—and reveals how those limitations have allowed the twisting of all our great moral teachings, leading to a systemic breakdown of meaning and community.
Drawing from all our greatest ancient philosophies, religious traditions, neuroscience, quantum theory, and game theory, the piece weaves together a universal diagnosis: humanity has confused power for leadership, money for value, and myths for history.
But beneath this confusion lies a shared objective — to retain and cultivate our humanity, which comes from the word humanitas which means: empathy, ethical behavior, personal growth, and collective well-being.
Along the way, the film seeks to deradicalize — reconnecting us to the shared values found across Islamic, Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and indigenous wisdom traditions.
It doesn’t shy away from confronting empire, exploitation, or ecological collapse—but ultimately aims to inspire connection, humility, and a renewed sense of purpose in the face of crisis.
It invites the viewer to play the game not to win but to learn, and remember what’s at stake: their own humanity.
The 2.5 hour film will be exclusively available on our proprietary digital player. Audiences can watch it in bite-sized chapters or they can speedrun the whole thing.
The format is designed as a transformational experience.
