The Subplot: A Hyperfixation on the Titan Submersible

Edinburgh 2026

The world moved on from the OceanGate Titan sub implosion. Captain* Sophie Smyth hasn't (rip). Armed with laptop, Logitech F710 controller and autism, she's spent three years (and counting!) diving deeper and deeper, descending the depths of the internet and herself. A dark multimedia comedy about neurodivergence, mortality and the risk/reward of going too far. *self-declared
