Lessons From My Nightmares

"Lessons from my nightmares"

Winner of Best Experimental Film at Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival 2021

Lessons From My Nightmares is a machine-learned film that follows the story of a girl dealing with insomnia due to compartmentalized thoughts and feelings. When she does sleep, she is haunted by nightmares.

This film was made as a part of the Runway Flash Residency. Runway ML is a machine learning application designed for creatives. All of the main visuals were generated by machine learning and then composited in After Effects. Fun fact: the nightmares are the machine interpretation of 4600+ behind the scenes on set pictures from my film productions over the past 6 years.
