KayKay's Flat
A cramped top-floor apartment with a mattress, a hot plate, and an editing desk built from a door and two crates. Reels and sticky notes cover the walls.
- Puzzle TowerA black glass skyscraper where Mr Puzzles runs his studio empire. Every floor hums with cameras, and the lobby screen plays his latest hit on a loop.
Mr Puzzles and Juno Pike - Reel RowA market street of film supply shops selling cameras, lamps, costumes, and tape. Crews haggle here at dawn before shoots.
Tobin Rask - The Silver ScreenThe grandest premiere theater in the city, with red velvet seats and a marquee that decides careers overnight.
Mira Solt - Backlot NineA working outdoor set of fake streets and half-built facades where extras wait for calls and crews trade rumors.
Vera Lunt - Cutting Room CafeA late-night diner where editors, gaffers, and grips eat cheap and talk about who is hiring and who is finished.
Sable Quinn - The Reel VaultA cold archive of old film prints and studio contracts. Dust, metal shelves, and a strict front desk.
Otto Vane - Neon PierA waterfront strip of warehouses and open docks where indie crews shoot for free and nobody asks for permits.
Dov Kessel - TheaterIt's where the contest is happening.
