A biological survival-horror short created for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. An Ardent Bioscience expedition enters a restricted rainforest where damaged life doesn’t simply heal. It rebuilds itself using whatever is available. As the team pushes deeper into the zone, the line between adaptation, survival, and something far more dangerous begins to disappear. Created for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. Visuals created through the Higgsfield ecosystem. AI-generated music, dialogue, and sound design were used throughout the film.
