AI Short Film 'The Bridge' Behind The Scenes 🎬

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to finally share a full production breakdown of my AI short film, "The Bridge." The response has been incredible (almost 400,000 views across platforms!) and I'm here to spill all the secrets on how I made it. In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process, from pre-production and AI tools, all the way to final post-production. I’ll also dive into the costs and compare them to traditional filmmaking.  

If you haven’t seen the short yet, don’t worry, I’ve included it in the video!
