Who it is for
Independent filmmakers, writers, authors, musicians, artists, and first-time directors with a focused story and a limited traditional-production budget.
Generative AI short films
Make the film traditional production says is too ambitious.
CinemaMachina develops and produces complete 3–5 minute generative AI films for independent storytellers, with projects starting at $5,000.
What this is
A finished short, not a technology demo.
We combine story development, character and location continuity, moving-image generation, editing, sound, and finishing. The result is a watchable film built around an emotional idea—not a slideshow of attractive stills.
What you receive
A defined concept, visual direction, production plan, finished edit, sound and delivery master. Exact versions, aspect ratios, and review rounds are agreed before production.
What AI changes
Generative tools make unusual worlds and shots possible at a smaller scale. They also require disciplined continuity, selection, repair, and editing; outputs are not perfectly repeatable.
Typical scale
Most projects are 3–5 minutes, start at $5,000, and are completed in under two months. Complexity, music rights, extra versions, and review scope can change the schedule and fee.
A practical fit
Come with a script—or just the moment you cannot stop thinking about.
A strong short does not need a large plot. It needs one clear emotional turn, a visual language, and enough specificity to make the world believable. We help find that structure before production begins.
