A $2,000 AI-generated video will debut at Tribeca

Violets dream costing $2,000 to produce and “based on press reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts,” according to a press release. It was created by Ash and Pooya Koosha, two brothers who left Iran in 2009. Pooya co-founded Fountain 0, the company behind the film, with Ash serving as CEO.

Source 0 says Violets dream is the first feature-length, live-action, AI-produced film to be accepted at a major film festival. As mentioned The Hollywood Reportera a cheap AI movie called Hell Grinding screened at Cannes – but at a side event, not the main show. The Pooya brothers reportedly used Google’s Nano Banana for graphics, Kling AI for video production, and Anthropic’s Claude for language switching, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“We understand the real concerns of people who work in video production, and like them we are concerned about what the unknown has to do with the lives of many people,” Kooshas said in a release. “But the truth is that this film would not have been made without the AI ​​technology that we were able to create.”

Violets dream will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 10th.
