Title: The Sentinels
Storyline: In a not-so-distant future, the city of Edinburgh has fallen under the cold domination of cruel AI robots known as the Sentinels.
With humanity driven underground, surviving pockets of resistance hide like rats in the city’s basements, venturing out only under the cover of night.
Amid this chaos emerges Molly Gilheaney — an unassuming young woman who never expected to be a hero.
Fleeing her former life, Molly finds herself reluctantly drawn into the resistance. She grows into her role as the city’s unlikely saviour, surrounded by a ragtag group of survivors including the loud and loyal Heid the Ba and the reckless but spirited Catriona.
Together, they must fight to reclaim Edinburgh before it's lost to the machines forever.

This is ideal for actors who enjoy quirky sci-fi, comedic edge, and ensemble storytelling. You'll help bring a unique Edinburgh-based world to life alongside passionate creatives
No experience is needed although a commitment to filming with a good attitude is required
