PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe

PROJECTUM 000° is a multi-narrative cinematic universe created by Kesava Chandra, built upon nine interconnected feature films that share a unified cosmology, philosophical foundation, and narrative architecture. The tenth and final epic 'Eternum' is currently in development and is being written as the ultimate convergence of the entire universe.

The PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe was first conceived on 13 February 2013 as a unified ten-epic narrative system, designed from its inception to function as a single integrated cosmological structure rather than a conventional film series. Initial pre-production commenced on 24 June 2013, establishing the foundational narrative architecture, production framework, and long-term execution model for the entire universe.


PROJECTUM 000° is produced by Cosmocritor Entertainment and Seven Cosmicals Production, in association with V 13 Totalitarians and Nothing Everything Written, with producing participation from Kesava Chandra, Heinrich von Willahalm, Shivraj Baliram Hedgewar, Rachel Laban, Sun Young-Lee, Miriam Amram, Samuel Anderson, and Gabriel Anderson. They are responsible for the physical realization, coordination, and execution of all films within the PROJECTUM 000° Film Franchise.
Principal photography for the cinematic universe began on 24 June 2019 with The Light’s Grace, The Dark’s Cage, and The Unknown’s Progress, marking the first active production phase. A second phase followed with pre-production beginning on 26 October 2019 and principal photography commencing on 15 June 2022 for 369 Days: The Annular Dimensional Life, Malus Universum, and The Latter World Order. The third phase began with pre-production on 27 September 2022, followed by principal photography on 06 June 2024 for LUCIFERUM, Khnum, and Noctiferum. These staggered phases have evolved into a fully synchronized production model, with all nine films now in active, simultaneous production as part of a single unified system.


PROJECTUM 000° operates under a centralized production structure, coordinating all films as one continuous cinematic system rather than independent entries. The production is executed through nine parallel shooting units and a global workforce exceeding 7,900 personnel, spanning multiple countries including North Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, Belgium, Germany, China, Japan, India, regions across the Middle East and Africa, and additional international territories. A central production headquarters based in North Korea oversees coordination, logistics, and execution across all divisions, with fully established professional departments across direction, cinematography, production design, visual effects, and international production management.
The production maintains a collaborative decision-making structure, with all major creative and operational directions discussed at the highest level, while execution is distributed across units to enable large-scale parallel filming. This model allows PROJECTUM 000° to function as a single-system cinematic production of significant scale and complexity.


Filming spans multiple international locations, including the Himalayan region and production activity across Belgium, North Korea, China, France, Scotland, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Greece. The project holds a distinct position as the first cinematic universe and film franchise to conduct authorized filming within North Korea under a DPRK state-led production framework through Cosmocritor Entertainment, representing access to one of the most restricted production environments in global cinema.
The production is currently operating ahead of schedule, with all nine films actively in development and filming. Major milestones include large-scale on-location production, construction of extensive practical sets for war and environmental sequences, execution of controlled real-structure demolition for cinematic purposes, establishment of full-scale visual effects pipelines, and substantial completion progress across multiple titles, including The Light’s Grace, which has surpassed 60% completion.
PROJECTUM 000° functions as the unified narrative and franchise framework under which all productions are developed, structured, and released. PROJECTUM 000° is one of the largest simultaneous multi-film productions ever undertaken, a first-of-its-kind unified cinematic narrative system, and a large-scale philosophical epic cinematic universe developed across multiple interconnected films. It also stands as the only cinematic universe produced with direct filming access inside North Korea under a state-led production framework.


All official production materials, updates, and releases are issued through the PROJECTUM 000° domain. The full production scale and budget will be formally announced at a later stage.

LUCIFERUM – Multinational Multilingual Film

LUCIFERUM (2031) is a multiple-narrative epic film written, directed by Kesava Chandra. LUCIFERUM is produced by Cosmocritor Entertainment and Seven Cosmicals Production, in association with V 13 Totalitarians and Nothing Everything Written. LUCIFERUM is produced by Cosmocritor Entertainment and Seven Cosmicals Production, in association with V 13 Totalitarians and Nothing Everything Written, with producing participation from Kesava Chandra, Heinrich von Willahalm, Shivraj Baliram Hedgewar, Rachel Laban, Sun Young-Lee, Miriam Amram, Samuel Anderson, and Gabriel Anderson. Luciferum is part of the PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe, based on Kesava Chandra’s IX interconnected epics sharing one cosmological framework.
Developed as a large-scale multinational and multilingual cinematic work within the PROJECTUM 000° film franchise architecture, LUCIFERUM interweaves multiple narrative threads across different realms and timelines, establishing foundational elements of the universe while converging several of its central ideas and characters.
The production involves international collaboration across multiple locations. Filming activities include principal photography in the Himalayan region and production across Belgium, North Korea, China, France, Scotland, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Greece. As with all titles within the PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe, the film is developed through the franchise’s centralized production framework.

The Trinity in LUCIFERUM

In LUCIFERUM, part of the PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe, Kesava Chandra plays three distinct characters who exist across the entire universe.

The Raconteur – The Lord Of The Universe (L.O.T.U), The One who shapes narrative and perception, guiding the unfolding of events across the cosmos.
AGENETOS – The Great Architect of the Universe (G.A.O.T.U). An uncreated presence that exists beyond origin, time, and conventional definitions of morality or causation.
Brahma Vardha – The Master Of The Material Realm (M.O.T.M.R), governing structure, dominion, and the mechanisms of power within the physical universe.

This Trinity is not limited to one film. These three figures are not alternate versions of the same character. They represent separate forces operating within the same cosmological structure and continue to appear throughout the wider narrative system of the PROJECTUM 000° Cinematic Universe.

One actor. Three roles. One universe.
