A Prestige Afro-Futurist Screen Property
Launching the Sleepers Universe
The Logline
"When a mysterious global sleep event incapacitates those in power and spares the marginalized, a fractured America is forced to confront a deeper truth."
The future belongs to those who were never meant to survive the present.
The World & Story
A mutated virus released from a pharmaceutical lab places millions into an irreversible sleep — primarily those in power. Those spared must rebuild a fractured nation while redefining identity, leadership, and survival.
SLUMBER launches the Sleepers Universe — an Afro-futurist saga rooted in the emotional truth of modern Black life and projected into a reimagined American future.
