<div>A piece of art which has been in the making since Xxhe Myt`thol was 17, when they composed a seven hour score to tell the story of "R`ovsces", a complex story set on a tundric, frozen exoplanet in deep space. Fast forward eight years, Xxhe has produced two live operas, written one full length science fiction novel, released four albums worth of music and directed a shortfilm for this story--all in the effort to reach the point that it can be put into it's originally intended medium: a feature film. 
</div>
<div>Here we are, finally, making it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Āge (previously R`ovsces) is a feature film project, an ice opera, and a grand story. It follows the journey of an extraterrestrial girl raised by light entities who speak a language which can only be sung.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is an experimental music film, dream-heavy science-fiction film, a martial arts film, a dance film, and also something completely to its own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are characters who practice martial arts, characters who practice interpretive contemporary dance and characters who combine the two art forms to create a hybrid martial dance style. Additionally, they are not depicted as just movement arts, but forms of communication.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Āge honors both art forms by both featuring them separately and marrying them gracefully.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Taking inspiration from Hero...
</div>
<div>Set design for 'Āge' will focus on hyper visual beauty and monochromatic color usage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We take great inspiration from the 2002 epic, Hero.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hero allows a single color to take over a scene. The items which live in the set are also key to the scene itself and play a major role in its execution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the green scene, the green flowing fabric plays a crucial role. It hides the characters at strategic moments during a fight sequence to create heavy suspense and also serves as an interactive prop, with characters cutting through it to reveal one another as they fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Overall, the fabric acts as a large over-hanging character in the scene, giving a sense of grandeur and overwhelming largeness for the audience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Music:
</div>
<div>The music will be in Xxhe's original composition style 'Strange-Tundra'.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This style uses recordings of ice and tundra sounds to create music. It also uses abstract interpretations of frozen landscapes for composition. Strange-Tundra will deeply enhance the alien world created and be one of the memorable staples of the film which make it stand out against others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nenom, the home planet of our characters, rests in deep space and is entirely frozen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Similar to Saturn’s moon Titan but with distinct differences, Nenom features vast frozen landscapes, endless tundras, ice chunk biomes, bioluminescent alien forests, and snow blanketing all grounds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Story:
</div>
<div>The story follows Scaarleas, a young extraterrestrial girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Āge tells her story. She is born with white hair and pink eyes into a dark green haired people known as the Onés. She is brought to a distant abandoned temple in the deep tundra as a baby where light entities are rumored to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scaarleas is raised by the light entities and kept far away from the outside world. She reaches her nearly full grown years having never gone into the outside world once before. She had spent her years speaking to the light entities, learning their language, and copying down all that they said into self-bound books and by carving them into the floors and walls.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The light entities speak in poetry and abstract words. They sometimes make clear sense but mostly do not. Xaarleas learns to understand vaguely what they say and writes down what they say simply because she can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is what is called an "Ashen", a special person born with white hair who can hear the voices of the light entities without pain. Others die at the high pitched sound of their speech.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In this world, Ashens are feared. The light entities are as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Scaarleas was born, the light entities are thought to be cruel and nightmarish. They live only in whispered bedtime stories and the winds of legends. Ashens like Xaarleas are rare. It is rare that they are born but when they are, because they are so feared, they are killed at birth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scaarleas knows none of this and grows up protected from this knowledge within the walls of the temple she was born--until one night when the light entities open the doors of her home and invite her to go outside...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
