Story + script
Treatment, script, story beats locked first. The film is built around a story worth telling — not around the tools.

ai Film
Cinematic shorts and originals. Story-led, AI-accelerated.
AI film is narrative cinema produced through a hybrid pipeline of AI generation, traditional cinematography craft, and post-production. We make short films — original IP, branded shorts, festival pieces, and proof-of-concept reels — where story leads and technology accelerates. The result reads as a finished cinematic film, not a tech demo.
At Xinemind, every film starts with story. Our team has 10+ years in Indonesian film and video production before AI tooling existed, and that craft sensibility is what separates our work from auto-generated content. We story-board, art-direct, and edit with the same discipline as a traditional production — AI just lets us shoot impossible locations, schedules, and budgets.
For brands, this means a brand film with the production value of a feature short at the budget of a commercial. For founders and IP owners, it means originating new film IP for festival circuits, streaming pitches, or proof-of-concept demos that previously required venture-scale budgets.

/ Process
How we build it.
Pre-production
Storyboards, look development, character + location design, casting (live-action or AI-generated). Full lock-down before production.
Production
Hybrid pipeline — live-action plates where they elevate the work, AI-generated environments and impossible shots, traditional VFX compositing on top.
Post
Editing, color grade, sound design, score. Delivered to festival spec or platform spec depending on the brief.
/ Where this fits
Best use cases.
Original IP shorts
Develop new film IP for festival submission, streaming pitches, or content development conversations with rights holders.
Brand films
5–10 minute branded shorts with the craft of festival cinema — for premium brand storytelling, not advertising.
Proof of concept
A 3–5 minute teaser or sizzle reel for a feature pitch — at a fraction of feature pre-production cost.
/ FAQ
Common questions.
Will the film qualify for festivals?
Most festivals accept AI-assisted work — distinct from "AI-generated" or fully autonomous AI films. Our films are directed and crafted by humans using AI as production infrastructure. We deliver to festival technical specs (4K, DCP on request, full credits) and have ongoing submissions in major circuits.
How do you handle scripted dialogue and performance?
Two pipelines: live-action principal photography for performance-led pieces (we still shoot real actors for emotional core scenes), or AI-generated character work with voice direction for stylized pieces. The right pipeline depends on the script.
Can you build to feature length eventually?
Our short film work — including Ode to Sisyphus and F$CKIN LIARS — is also a deliberate proof of capability for longer-form work. We are actively in conversations on feature-length AI-assisted projects with partners and platforms.
