COSMO is an introspective sci-fi short that follows a lone traveller drifting between worlds, searching for meaning in the quiet vastness of space. It’s a film about isolation, discovery, and the beauty of finding connection in the unknown.

 

What sets COSMO apart is its breathtaking soundscape designed and mixed by Alan Meyerson, whose legendary credits include The Dark Knight, Inception, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Combined with a live 59-piece orchestra, the film’s sound and score transform every frame into an emotional experience that transcends dialogue.

 

Visually poetic and sonically immense, COSMO captures the heart of what Imoria Pictures stands for: independent filmmaking that feels limitless.

Before Imoria Pictures, there was Spider-Man: Lost Cause a no-budget fan film made with nothing but passion, friends, and a camera. What started as a small tribute became a global phenomenon, amassing over 64 million views and becoming one of the most successful Spider-Man fan films ever made. Its impact proved that storytelling and heart could outshine any budget.

 

Spider-Man 2: Another World continued that legacy a sequel that expanded the story, scale, and ambition of the original.

GHOSTS

Before tackling cinematic epics, Imoria Pictures (then under Digitilheart) had a bit of fun with Ghosts a short mockumentary following three spirits trying to make sense of the afterlife, new fame, and each other. What began as a tongue-in-cheek idea quickly turned into a charming, chaotic comedy filled with dry humor, strange logic, and a surprising amount of heart.

 

While creators like Logan Paul and Shane Dawson were diving into “dark topics,” Ghosts proudly went in the opposite direction embracing the ridiculous. The concept was originally developed as a full series, with six episodes written and plans to explore different ghostly misadventures across “seasons.” It blended sketch-style comedy with mockumentary realism a playful experiment that laid the groundwork for Imoria's evolving storytelling style and world-building approach.

Rather than focusing on battles or badges, this fan-made short captures the quiet moment before it all begins a young trainer reflecting on the life-changing adventure that awaits. It’s a story about preparation, doubt, and courage; about leaving home and stepping into the unknown with nothing but a dream and a Poké Ball.

 

Joey and the Imoria Pictures team wanted to explore what the games never slow down to show the emotions, the hesitation, and the beauty of that first step. With cinematic visuals and a score that blends nostalgia with heart, The Journey Begins is a love letter to Pokémon and to everyone who’s ever dreamed of setting out on their own adventure.

Set against the backdrop of World War II, Paper Plane tells the parallel stories of two children connected by hope and distance. In the countryside, young Timmy watches his brother leave to fight, clinging to innocence as the war slowly reaches his doorstep. Meanwhile, fifty miles away in London, Evan faces the chaos of the Blitz a child’s world crumbling under the sound of sirens and falling skies.

 

Their stories unfold through quiet moments and symbolic imagery, revealing how even in the darkest times, small acts of imagination can bridge impossible gaps. Paper Plane is a tender, cinematic reflection on childhood, loss, and the invisible threads that connect us all.
