Tuvstar

Feature filmIn development

A girl in a white dress stands in a twilight forest village while a towering, moss-covered creature rests its hand on her shoulder

Moss, roots and old creatures, lit by a strange and gentle light.

Tuvstar is a cinematic fantasy film set in the Nordic forest, built from natural textures, unusual light and quiet emotion.

A girl with wild blonde hair looks up through a dark forest lit by small lights
A tall veiled figure stands in a misty forest pool under hanging moss
A creature with a bark-like face, lit by a glowing orange lantern
An elfin woman leans close to a crowned, bearded king in candlelit darkness

AI-born universeSince 2022

A pale being with great curling horns, dressed in white, before a grey sea with others behind

An AI-born universe of creatures, landscapes and myth.

A parallel world that reaches ours through AI. Since 2022, Nakãya has grown from a series of images into a living mythology, told through film, immersive installations, music and community. Its message is simple: everything is connected.
