Céremony (2025) | 4K AI Short Film

In a near-future where perception of minors in distress is heavily filtered, the only survivor of a city erased in an apocalyptic strike, a 12-year-old girl, is interviewed to tell the world what happened. But she holds the key to a darker truth about children in our society.

CÉREMONY is a visual fable about aesthetic capture, desensitization, and the cost of protecting the world from the reality of trauma.

The film’s visuals were entirely created with Google AI models – namely Imagen 4 Preview for character design, Gemini 3 Pro Image (aka Nano Banana Pro) for keyframes, and Veo 3.1 for video. Voices created with ElevenLabs V3 Alpha. Music composed with Suno V5. Upscaling via Topaz Starlight and Topaz Proteus. Colorgrading and grain via Dehancer Pro.
