A sci-fi film made with generative AI. People have a chip and can live inside their memories. If you can make memories better than reality, why live in reality?
Brief
The original concept ran 6 to 7 minutes. It grew to 33 during production because the tools let us go further than expected. The script is by Ondřej Hubálek and Dominik Drapák; I directed the film and led the whole generative pipeline.
Process
A reversed flow: idea, generate, let the story evolve around what works. Characters were locked as named references in Freepik Spaces with Nano Banana Pro. Storyboards came out as 3x3 grids from a single prompt. A Prompt Bible kept one look: 4K, shot on Alexa, Cook anamorphic lenses, film grain. In post we pushed AI shots toward film: motion blur, grain, chromatic aberration, anamorphic stretch. Two or three hybrid scenes were shot on an iPhone, then face and voice swapped.
Stack
