MORPHIC | PREVIEW
MORPHIC | Signora Penelope | First 4 Minutes of a 40-Minute Pilot | Italy | 2025
The full 40-minute work is in progress, with Signora Penelope starring as the main character.
MORPHIC is a surreal series about a woman locked in a visual conversation with her own reflection. Her image lags. Her features distort. Makeup becomes ritual. The mirror observes — too closely.
Exploring dysmorphophobia, identity collapse, and the strange intimacy of self-perception, Morphic unfolds like a lucid dream — haunting, playful, and deeply personal.
Created using Sora, with every frame composed, directed, and performed by Signora Penelope, this is the beginning of a 40-minute cinematic experience where the face becomes a battlefield, the mirror becomes a liar, and beauty is a trap.
The first 4 minutes appear here as a preview—a fragment of a larger descent.

NO LONGER | PREVIEW
NO LONGER | Signora Penelope | 4 minutes 30 seconds | Italy | 2025
A visual descent into the emotional aftermath of war — where memory fractures, faces distort, and the meaning of survival dissolves.
Created in response to the heaviness of the world, this AI film explores the psychological ruins left behind by violence. Through surreal imagery, mutated identities, and scorched silence, NO LONGER asks what remains of us when peace becomes a distant memory.
Inside an underground shelter, women sit in silence. Their gestures are mechanical, their expressions vacant—bodies surviving, but minds unraveling. Their sense of time, language, and self has collapsed. They are no longer women of the world above; they are echoes of memory, fragments of fear, living on inside ritual and routine.
This is not a documentary. It is not a comment on one war. It is an echo of all of them.
This is an excerpt showing the first minutes of the feature film.

HOME | PREVIEW
HOME | Signora Penelope | First 1 minute 24 seconds of a 30-minute Film | Italy | 2025
Inspired by David Lynch’s Rabbits, HOME is the opening 1 minute and 24 seconds of a feature surreal animated film, unfolding a soft dream with uncertain edges.
A surreal meditation on presence, dread, and domestic static.
Figures with rabbit heads inhabit a room. They sit. They wait. They move with mechanical grace. Outside, there may be a storm—or maybe it’s inside. The air hums with electricity and absence.
Time does not flow here; it ticks and stalls, folds and echoes. Familiar gestures—sitting, standing, dancing —take on ceremonial weight. Their home is less a place than a performance.
