ODA, an AI film by Shal Ngo

About the film

My official entry to the Higgsfield Global Film Festival. Please give it a like on their website so I can win this contest! When his daughter vanishes into a machine-ruled wasteland, an old veteran sets out to find her - and uncovers a past that changes everything. Adapted from a live-action short I made and the feature script I haven't found the money to make yet. Everything you see and hear was created using generative A.I. My dream is that this serves as a proof-of-concept to bring the live-action version of this to life as a feature. Learn more about the project here: And watch the live-action short that inspired it:
