Zayra is a published dark fantasy novel that is currently being developed into a cinematic CGI universe.

The goal of this campaign is to produce a 3–5 minute cinematic teaser, which will serve as the first visual foundation of a fully independent fantasy film project and as a preparatory step for a future international crowdfunding campaign.

The teaser acts as a visual gateway into the world of Zayra: introducing the tone, characters, and mythological atmosphere of the novel while bringing its universe to life for the first time.

Zayra is a dark, atmospheric fantasy universe where nature is alive, the past never truly dies, and ancient forces slowly reclaim what once belonged to them.

At the center of the story is Zayra, a child raised within a tribal community in a world where:

• the earth whispers
• shadows are always watching
• the boundary between the living and the dead is gradually fading

This is not a traditional fantasy setting.

It is a mythological, spiritual, and survival-based universe, where nature and ancient forces exist as conscious, living entities.

A 3–5 minute cinematic CGI teaser is being created.

This is not a trailer for an existing film.

It is the first visual manifestation of an entire world.

The teaser defines:

• the visual identity of the universe
• the tone and atmospheric direction
• the cinematic language of a future film adaptation
• the foundation for international crowdfunding and expansion
• 
  

• Teaser Matters

This project is the first concrete step toward building a fully realized CGI universe.

Its purpose is to:

• establish the visual language of the world
• define the CGI style and quality standard
• introduce the project to an international audience
• open the path toward film festivals and producers
• lay the foundation for a future Kickstarter campaign

Without the teaser, Zayra remains only a written world.

With it, it becomes visually real.

All funding is dedicated exclusively to the production of the teaser.

• CGI production (Unreal Engine, AI pipeline, compositing, rendering): €1500–€3000
• Hardware & rendering resources: €500–€800
• Concept art & visual development: €200–€300

Additional funding will allow:

• longer and more detailed scenes
• higher rendering quality
• expanded environments
• additional concept art and visual refinement

Zayra is not just a fantasy story.

It is:

• a mythologically grounded living world
• a psychological and spiritual survival narrative
• a coming-of-age journey within an ancient, shifting reality
• an atmospheric dark fantasy universe

The goal is to create a fully independent, internationally viable CGI intellectual property.

The teaser is based on the published novel.

Every contribution matters.

Even a single euro brings this world closer to becoming a cinematic reality.

This teaser is not just a short film — it is the first step toward a fully independent fantasy film universe.

What happens if more funding is raised than the goal?

All additional funding directly improves the teaser: higher quality visuals, longer scenes, and expanded concept development.

Why not start directly with a Kickstarter film campaign?

A strong visual proof of concept is required before launching a full-scale international crowdfunding campaign.

When will the teaser be completed?

Production begins immediately after funding closes. Estimated timeline: 2–3 months.

Where can the project be followed?

Regular updates will be shared during production, including concept art, breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes development.

Zayra is the beginning of a new cinematic universe.

This teaser is the first step toward making that world visible.
