Hey everyone, I’m Marcin.
I’m not a filmmaker or a screenwriter — at least not yet.
Over the last few years, I’ve been developing a story that slowly evolved into a complete universe of its own:
Dziedzictwo Elyrian (Legacy of the Elyrians).
It’s a science-fantasy story about Sylaris, a man carrying the legacy of an ancient race called the Elyrians — a hyper-advanced civilization that lived millions of years ago, seeking harmony and transcendence through the balance of mind and body.
The world of The Elyrians was inspired by Mass Effect, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, and Stargate — stories that connect science, energy, and emotion into something greater than technology itself.
I’m only at the beginning of my journey.
I’ve started learning screenwriting and cinematic storytelling, and it will take time before I can fully adapt this world for the screen.
For now, I’d love to connect with writers, directors, and creatives who might want to:
share their thoughts or advice,
give feedback on the story or concept,
or maybe one day help bring this universe to life.
To be honest, I’ve never really shared this idea with anyone before.
It’s something I’ve carried quietly for years, and putting it out here for the first time feels both exciting and terrifying.
But if even one person sees something in it — a spark, a feeling, a bit of vision — that will already mean a lot to me.
At this stage, I’m still learning and exploring — open to every opinion and perspective from people with experience in storytelling.
If anyone sees potential or vision in this project and could help me move it forward faster, I’d be very open to talk and collaborate.
The musical atmosphere I imagine has an emotional, orchestral tone — calm yet powerful, inspired by the kind of work I’ve always admired, in the spirit of Blake Neely’s compositions.

Legacy of the Elyrians – “Will he balance light and dark?”
This artwork captures the heart of the story — the constant tension between light and shadow, strength and understanding.
I’d be grateful for any thoughts, feedback, or even potential collaboration.

Hi! I’m happy you shared your story. We should definitely connect! I write in the sci-fi / fantasy. I love stories with their own universes and lore.

This looks really cool. Is that a black jet or space ship in the background? Either way, best of luck with this project!

Hi Michael Dzurak Thank you! It’s actually the flagship of the main character — sleek, powerful, and with its own secrets tied to the story’s lore.
Really appreciate you noticing it!

Marcin Zawistowski, the ship reminded me of an X-70B Phantom from Star Wars.

Cracking title. Do you see it as movie or TV? There is great demand for 'universes'.

Minh Nguyen Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to me. I’m still learning and finding my way in this creative world, but I’m passionate about building this story step by step. Your encouragement truly helps — it gives me strength to keep going and improving.

David Taylor Thank you! I see Legacy of the Elyrians as a TV series rather than a single movie. The world and mythology are too deep for just a two-hour story — it’s more about exploring the evolution of Sylaris and the ancient Elyrian civilization across several seasons.
My hope is to build it as a full universe, with each season expanding the layers of their philosophy, science, and the conflict between light and shadow. I’m still at an early stage, learning and developing it, but the vision is to create something that feels alive and emotionally real.

Michael Dzurak Haha, I can see why! The design definitely has that kind of vibe. I’ve always loved the sleek, purposeful look of ships like the Phantom — though in Legacy of the Elyrians, I tried to give it a more organic and energy-based feel rather than purely mechanical. But I’ll take that comparison as a compliment!

Marcin, building a complete universe like Legacy of the Elyrians takes real dedication! The science-fantasy blend sounds fascinating, especially with the themes of legacy and destiny you're exploring. It's exciting to see someone nurture a world so fully before bringing it to screen.

Phuc Quang Vu Dao Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. It’s been a long process of shaping the world and its philosophy before even thinking about the screen part. I really wanted it to feel alive — a universe with history, emotion, and purpose behind every element. I’m still learning and developing, but hearing that kind of feedback truly motivates me to keep going.
Kk your banner is very close to mine, layout and colors. Check it out:

Hey, Antonio Alexandre that’s a good point — this is actually my first banner, and I didn’t realize the colors could come across that similarly. I see what you mean though, thanks for pointing it out — totally unintentional!
I hope it’s not a problem for you — the mythic tone just came naturally with the story I’m telling.
hahaha of course not, i hope you have sucess. You also produce your scripts?

Antonio Alexandre Thanks! Yeah time to start because the canon is finally finished, so now it’s all about turning it into script and bringing it to life.
