AI short films that still feel directed
Narrative AI short films written, directed, edited and scored by a real film studio — using generative tools, not replaced by them.
Where most ai short films work falls short.
Prompt-reels pretending to be films
Five seconds of each visual glued together is not a short film.
Tool-first, story-last
AI shorts that show off the tool always forget the audience halfway through.
No sound, no edit, no score
AI visuals without real sound design and edit rhythm fall apart in 30 seconds.
AI Short Film Production, end-to-end.
Every deliverable below comes from the same in-house team — direction, DOP, edit, colour, sound, motion, design and performance.
Scripted AI Short Films
Narrative AI short films from 60 seconds to 10 minutes, scripted and directed before generation.
Art Direction & Style Bibles

Questions, answered.
How much does an AI short film cost?+

Most AI shorts run 4–10 weeks from script lock to final delivery, including generation, edit, sound and finishing.
Can we keep character and style consistent?+
Yes. Character consistency, style bibles and shot continuity are core to how we direct AI — it’s what separates a short film from a showreel.
