* in Pre-Production

After a rockstar hacker discovers her mentor's death is a staged suicide, she goes through hell to find justice but instead, falls for the hitman and protects his darkest secret.

Synopsis

CODE DEATH is darkwave industrial thriller set in the modern-day San Francisco. There’s coding, hacking, police investigation, biotech battle, industrial metal music, some mafia, a love story, and a little bit of suicide.

How do you balance what’s right for you with what’s accepted by the society? Any tips on managing work-life balance, when it’s your literal life on the line? And, how can you not fall in love with a charming hitman who is on a noble mission to ‘save’ terminally-ill?

All of this happens when you blend Big tech with Big pharma, and sprinkle darkwave romance on top.

Director’s Statement

‘Code Death’ is for people at the cross-roads: thinkers, doers, experimenters, and eternal romantics. It serves as a reminder that love can emerge when it’s least expected, with all the moral complexities along with it.

I’m on a mission to make every viewer of the diverse audiences across the globe feel seen, valued, and profoundly understood.

My goal is to inspire spectators to ask the hard questions, challenge the status quo, and embrace the chaos of life in all its beauty and uncertainty.

This film is a mirror to reflect on who we are and who we can become.

But ‘Code Death’ isn’t just a film; it’s a call to action, an emotional journey, and a chance to leave viewers empowered long after the credits roll.
