One year to create this shortfilm! - "The Minos Paradox" - CINEMATIC UE5

🎬 The Minos Paradox – A Sci-Fi Mythological Short Film
Created almost entirely solo with Unreal Engine 5, The Minos Paradox is a cinematic short film that reimagines the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur through the lens of science fiction.
Each time Theseus touches a glowing sphere, he’s transported to a new era—a different piece of a spatio-dimensional labyrinth from which there is no escape.

A passion project made during spare time over more than a year – between cinema, mythology and game culture.
