Questions
- What do I need to send?
- Only your book. Any genre, any length. If it runs long, we adapt it to fit the film you pick and keep the story you told.
- When will I get my film?
- Your start date and delivery date are shown before you pay, and they are locked once you do. 7 days for an AI Trailer, 10 days for an AI Skit, 14 days for an Episode and 30 days for a full movie, counted from the start date.
- Why is a full movie $5,000?
- An 80-minute film is hundreds of shots. We check every one by hand for faces, voices, lip sync and backgrounds, remake the ones that miss, then cut, score and mix the film. That work is the price and the month it takes.
- Can I start with something smaller?
- Yes. An AI Trailer is $399, an AI Skit is $399 and an Episode is $499. Each one is made the same way as a full movie.
- Who owns the film?
- You do. Post it on YouTube, TikTok or Facebook, sell it, or use it to market your book.
- How do I pay?
- By card at checkout, in full. Your dates are locked as soon as the payment goes through.
