Review by Andie Kay:

Storytelling 2.0 with the power of Artificial Intelligence is something some folks adore and some hate. I do appreciate a story that is well told and everything is clear. And a film using AI that’s based on “real facts” – is simply a cool way to make a film. It’s a way to pull the viewer in 100%.


This film had that beautiful, slick feel that AI brings to the table and thanks to Image and Coherence team members Emanuelle and Giulia everyone looked the same from scene to scene. They were working closely with Alberto who handled Technology Development.

The story was interesting and captured your attention and Barbara Katie Armen handled that plus the overall style of how the film should look. This was all brought together by Director, Mattia Simbolotti. Overall it made sense to use AI for this, especially not having a major studio backing you and using their resources to convey the special effects throughout the film.
