The pace of AI-driven film production is astonishing. That’s why the title of this blog post is meant as a rhetorical question—because the developments in this field are moving fast.

Instead of diving into theory, this post provides real-world examples: a selection of AI-generated short films that offer a clear picture of where we stand today in AI-powered filmmaking. As a dedicated film enthusiast, I consider this a must-have blog post!

A big thanks to Mark Wachholz – Award-Winning AI Filmmaker & Storytelling Explorer (LinkedIn) – who is deeply involved in the AI film scene and shared valuable insights. Thanks to him, I discovered dozens of AI-generated films. At the end of this post, you’ll also find comprehensive film lists curated by Mark, allowing you to explore the topic further.

The short films featured here have been carefully selected based on several key criteria. Each of them meets at least one, if not multiple, of the following quality benchmarks:

  • 🎬 Engaging storytelling
  • 🎭 Consistent character appearances across cuts and scenes
  • ✨ High-quality visual effects
  • 🌌 A well-crafted, immersive atmosphere
  • Enjoy your AI-powered home cinema experience! 🍿
