DUMMY

DUMMY is a short written, directed and edited by Italian creator M. Comanducci, posted on YouTube in September 2026 and running 4 minutes 17 seconds. It's an entry in the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. A crash test dummy that has absorbed impacts for a whole working life is dumped in a warehouse at the end of it, and the film follows what happens when it wakes up. The tagline is "Someone always takes the impact." There's no dialogue. The creator says all of the visual and audio material is AI-generated: images and video from Higgsfield, AI-generated sound design, and editing and color done in CapCut.

Who it's for:viewers who like wordless shorts told through images, including those who don't speak English.
