Gil's Grill
By 2023, AI could write scripts, composite imagery, and edit film. But AI will never know what it feels like to get a pair of grills stuck in your mouth on the way to a job interview. So we built a campaign around human errors, mess, and lived experience as the things no algorithm can understand. That's the kind of filmmaking AI could never create.

Art Is Better When It Movies
In 2024, we had a different challenge. To help drive ticket sales, we built a generative AI microsite (makeitmovie.org) that let anyone photograph a piece of art and get matched to a BFF film, with a discount to festival tickets. The spots we made followed gallery-goers who couldn't stop imagining film narratives behind the paintings.
