About the film
AI ARTIST is a film of about nine minutes by Jessey Nelson and Dani Barker, and its YouTube title calls it a horror short film created with AI. The description opens with a "shrimp-fingered incel" who discovers a passion; the text we have stops there, so the rest of the plot is unknown. It received a Merit award at the Runway AI Film Festival 2023. The creators write in the YouTube description that they used Midjourney and Runway (Gen-1). Among the AIFF 2023 winners in this batch, it is one of the few whose official description names both its genre and its tools.
Who it's for:Viewers comfortable with horror who want to see how early AI tools were used for genre filmmaking.
Before you watch: Free on YouTube, about 9 minutes. The language is not stated. YouTube offers auto-generated English captions, not human-made subtitles. It is a horror film and the description uses crude language, so it carries a mature content note.
