A 13-minute sci-fi horror short from Neill Blomkamp, generated shot-by-shot with Seedance 2.0 and released through his new AI-focused Barley Studios.
Neill Blomkamp's first full AI-film test uses a mock-documentary military-horror format to explore whether generative video can sustain a coherent 13-minute narrative. The production used human concept artists plus licensed faces and voices from 32 real people.
Every final shot was generated with Seedance 2.0 and directed shot-by-shot through prompts; human concept artists shaped the visual development, and 32 real people licensed their faces and voices for the characters.
A major feature-film director publicly committing to an AI-first film pipeline is one of the clearest signals yet that generative filmmaking is moving into professional entertainment production.
