Emergence 2028: Underdogs follows the journey of Ian Kane, writer, producer, and director behind the indie cyberpunk project Emergence 2028. What began with a single script and two collaborators, Matt Taff and Jeremy Snider, has grown into a committed team of creators and technicians working across film, audio, and visual media.

Featuring a cast that includes Eric Roberts (Runaway Train, Babylon, The Dark Knight), Bai Ling (The Crow, Red Corner, Crank: High Voltage), Daeg Faerch (Halloween, Euphoria, Hancock), Sean Rogers (The Flash, Dinner in America), and Isaac C. Singleton Jr. (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mandalorian, Deadpool), Kane’s upcoming feature film pushes cyberpunk through a raw independent lens. Through candid interviews and behind-the-scenes access, viewers witness both the momentum and the pressure of building a large-scale project from the ground up, alongside firsthand insights from cast and crew.

Emergence 2028: Underdogs documents persistence, collaboration, and grassroots filmmaking in Los Angeles, tracing what it takes to carry an ambitious vision forward when resources are limited and belief must come from within.
