01 / THE STORY

Everyone has a secret.
Someone is always watching.

A PRIVATE WORLD. AN UNINVITED EYE.

Eva Ros is the best drone pilot in Voliera, a crew of young thieves targeting the Riviera’s wealthy. To help pay for her younger brother’s education, she secretly runs a blackmail operation on the side, using aerial recordings to extort corrupt figures, including a prosecutor. The crew knows nothing about it.

One night, her drone records a murder and crashes onto the killer’s balcony. He takes it, and with it the memory card: evidence of his crime and of her secret life. Eva is left with only the copy on her controller. She sets out to identify him while he hunts the witness, putting her brother, her crew and her own freedom at risk.

The first look.

COLD OPENING / PROOF OF CONCEPT

Getting close can be dangerous.

Everyone is hiding something. Everyone has something to lose.

DRONE PILOT / VOLIERA GROUP | ALIAS / DRAGON

Eva Ros

Through the lens, she sees everything. Except her own life.

Voliera’s best drone pilot keeps her private life hidden from the crew. To support her younger brother’s education, she secretly blackmails corrupt figures using aerial recordings. A recorded murder threatens the people she is trying to protect.

ALIAS / SOMBRA

Marc Keller

Every identity has a price.

A mysterious broker arrives with an offer for a major heist. Composed and hard to read. Eva has reasons not to trust him.

POLICE COMMISSIONER

Ines Varga

She works outside the system that failed them both.

Eva’s former superior runs her unofficially, without protection or a paper trail. Determined to close a case that still haunts her, Ines risks her reputation and her freedom — while struggling to see the price Eva pays.

OFF THE GRID

Dato Chikvaidze

No phone. No accounts. No trail.

A Georgian mob boss who spent half his life in prison and never went underground. No phone, no accounts, no connected devices: he leaves none of the digital trails that Eva, and the police, rely on. In a world built on surveillance, he leaves nothing for Eva to track.

05 / THE WORLD / FRENCH RIVIERA

Paradise. Under surveillance.

Crime in a picture-postcard landscape. Cold technology. Warm seas.

06 / THE PROJECT
AN ORIGINAL AI FILMMAKING PROJECT

Story sets the direction.
Technology opens possibilities.

DRAGON’S DRONE is an original neo-noir series developed using generative AI as a filmmaking tool. Its cold opening establishes a cinematic language built on the contrast between Riviera luxury and the detached gaze of surveillance: precise framing, controlled camera movement, an escalating editing rhythm and suspense shaped by what remains outside the frame.
