The Essence was directed by Beatriz Ribeiro and produced by Hashtag Production and Cover by Damian Production as a part of the university assessment tells the story of an inter-dimensional Being who enters the earth's layer searching for the Essence of life. Following his senses, Nialark observes a human boy whom he thinks has what he needs. With countless lives depending on him, he must hurry before the impending doom arrives.
