Review by Andie Kay:

Graf Anthony created and directed SustAIn, a film about combining sustainability with A.I. The concept is a sound one of how we, as a species, can collaborate with A.I. to reimagine discarded objects and breathe new life into them. Shackle Peter did the chair design within the film and the chair was definitely multifunctional and artistic.


There is a seamlessness to the film’s flow due to it being generated by A.I. One of the things I really liked was text elements that were added, it helped unify the story being told. The addition of sound effects and the voice over was very clever and added a nice narrative to what was happening on screen. I only wish the voice over was done in a softly spoken voice instead of the whisper.

What really shines throughout the film is the score provided by Graf Anthony under the pseudonym CLMTN. The title song “World is on Fire” evokes such emotion and pairs perfectly with this film and its message.
