Liana Marie Sive
Writer / Producer
Background in systematic research and complex narrative development. Author of The First Fault-Line. Graduate work at UC San Diego and Caltech. She writes films about people who arrive late—to responsibility, to clarity, to courage—and who discover that lateness doesn't disqualify them.
Eugene B. Sive Jr.
Cinematographer / Producer
50+ years of experience in film and television production. Visual storytelling with emphasis on practical, location-based shooting. His approach: sincerity is static; competence moves. The camera doesn't chase. It observes.
Projects in Development
RECALL
When a small New Mexico town's mayor is recalled for corruption, an obscure charter clause installs the second-place finisher—a conspiracy podcaster who got 43 votes. His paranoia has roots: his mother was a downwinder who died of cancer while the government denied responsibility. He's looking in the wrong place, but for the right reasons.
Now he has real power. With monsoon season approaching, he tries to fix a flooding street and pass a contractor Verification Ordinance—and the council president who runs the machine tries to stop him by weaponizing procedure and threatening the one relationship Gil can't afford to lose.
Tone: The Holdovers meets Being There.
