Original worlds. Hand created. Cinematically realized.
Technology doesn't create the vision—it reveals it. Every project begins as an original work of art before becoming cinema.
Move V is an independent film studio founded by artist and collector Scott Devon. Drawing on original figurative artwork created by its founder, the studio develops films and series that explore beauty, truth, history, and the human condition through the lens of artificial intelligence and traditional storytelling.
An orphan in 1600s Rome survives by selling forged Caravaggios to tourists. The real talent in his fakes catches the eye of the master himself, and earns him a place in the workshop as his apprentice.
Mateo Vale, a young Manhattan forensic psychiatrist, has a gift: in his interviews, people open up and surrender the truths they meant to keep buried, answers that only lead to more unsettling questions.
An impoverished aristocratic widow spends the last of her fortune on the hungry, the abandoned, and the wounded, asking only that each one pass the kindness on. When creditors and violence close in on her crumbling English manor, the forgotten lives she quietly saved return, one by one, to protect her.
The characters the films are built around.
The orphaned forger whose fake Caravaggios earn him a place beside the master. Period realism, warm and weathered.
Caravaggio's closest ally in Rome — an architect who built churches by day and carried a sword by night. When the master's temper turns the streets to blood, Longhi is already there.
A celebrated courtesan of Caravaggio's Rome, model for the master's canvases and kept by cardinals and bankers. Her beauty draws both the painter and the enforcer who owns her into a fatal orbit.
A well-connected pimp and street enforcer, quick to take offense and quicker with a blade. The feud that erupts over a woman and a wager ends with a man bleeding out in a Roman alley.
A young Manhattan forensic psychiatrist with a gift: in his interviews, people give up the truths they meant to keep buried. Watchful, haunted, and impossible to forget.
Vale's gatekeeper and a former corrections investigator: she decides who gets through the door. She reads desperation off a performance, and trusts almost no one.
Each character begins with original art by founder Scott Devon.
The concept trailer for the series is on our YouTube channel, with more to come.
A small studio of artists, filmmakers, and engineers, built around a founder who paints the story before anyone films it. The rest of the team carries that image to the screen.
