COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - It is official. Unseen, Unheard is now listed on IMDb.
This is not vanity. This is a signal that the machine has started moving.
For those just joining us: Unseen, Unheard (working title) is the feature adaptation of Ellie Burdg's psychological horror novel The Price of Staying. It is a story about what happens when human beings stop being people and start becoming balance sheets. And now, it has a footprint in the industry database that matters.
The Status: Optioned Property. In Development. Horror.
If you have read the book, you already know the feeling. The fluorescent hum of the compliance room. The soft ping of the timer counting down a work shift. The moment you realize that your body, your labor, and your death have all been collateralized into a single corporate portfolio.
If you have not read it yet, here is your warning: this is not dystopia-by-explosion. This is bureaucracy as body horror. The kind of terror that lives in waiting rooms, in performance reviews, in the quiet certainty that someone, somewhere, has calculated exactly what you are worth dead.
Welcome to Halcyon Continuance Holdings.
In the world of Unseen, Unheard, citizens do not simply work. They ascend. They trade rights to their bodies after death in exchange for benefits, protection, and status. They live in corporate luxury - until they don't. One missed quota. One celebration too many. One compliance flag. And suddenly the ascended become the invisible.
Adrian Vale knows this transition intimately.
So do we.
The BioValue Generator Is Coming.
We have been building something for you. A way to step inside this world before the cameras roll.
Very soon, visitors to our site will be able to access the BioValue Generator - a digital experience that calculates your corporate worth through the eyes of Halcyon Continuance Holdings. What is your labor value? Your post-mortem equity? Your compliance score?
Some of you will test as Ascendents. Others will find yourselves on the Frontline Roll.
Either way, you will understand exactly what price this world demands for staying alive.
The Campaign: Phase One
We are also announcing that Outlaw Poet Digital Films will launch a Crowdfundr campaign in August 2026 to fund The Development Seed - the first phase of bringing Unseen, Unheard to the screen.
Phase One Goal: $35,000.
This is not gear money. This is foundation money. Script polish. Lead casting. The composer advance and the timer sound design that will haunt your sleep. The production design bible. The location deposits for Halcyon and Swift River.
All of this will be tracked through our Four-Bucket Transparent Budgeting model. No departmental starvation. No black boxes. You will know exactly where every dollar goes.
If you want to be the first to know when the BioValue Generator goes live, and to get a 24-hour head start on our Crowdfundr campaign, sign up for frontline updates below.
The timer is running.
Are you Ascendent or Frontline?
