Inside the story.

Mira enters a gene-modification clinic hoping to become rare enough to be seen. Archeon offers something more valuable than beauty: a face the system can understand, record and permit to exist without question.

Those who move the story.

01

A young woman searching for a form the world will recognize.

The architect of identities that institutions can accept.

04 / Creation note

A film from an evolving universe.

Disguise Permit is a self-contained story set inside the Entchan universe. Created independently by Kevin Cheng, the film uses speculative body modification to explore identity, status and the invisible systems that decide which forms of self-expression are considered legitimate.
