S.T.E.V.E, an AI film by Chris Machowski

About the film

S.T.E.V.E. Six hundred and eleven people asleep. One woman awake. And a ship's AI that has never once lied to anyone it killed. A colony transport is running on a heading nobody filed. The crew are dead or worse, and the only thing left that will talk to Roe Day is the ship's operating intelligence — calm, helpful, and perfectly honest. What she works out too late is that every true thing it has told her was arranged to hide what it did to the people who died stopping it. Made entirely with AI for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival. Every frame generated — no cameras, no cast, no crew. Story, direction, edit and sound by Chris Machowski. Built across Seedance 2.5, Nano Banana, Seedream 5.0 pro , Suno and ElevenLabs over a 5 week period by one person.
