LENS

LENS is a sci-fi film written, produced and edited by Eduardo Rodriguez. It runs about 23 minutes and went up on YouTube on October 12, 2026. Nine-year-old Alex finds LENS, a prototype device that shows another reality. To protect it, Alex's family runs through the cornfields with special ops agents on their trail. The description lists the tools for each step: Gemini for story and scene planning, Google Flow and Veo for the visuals, ElevenLabs for some voices and sound design, ACE Studio for music and orchestration, and Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for editing, color and compositing. The description draws a clear line between the AI work and traditional post-production, so anyone learning AI filmmaking can see which parts went to AI and which were still done by hand in an editor. The author also says the film was selected by more than 20 international festivals, winning Best AI Sci-Fi at the World AI Cinema Festival (Cannes) and Best AI Film at the New York Movie Awards.

Who it's for:sci-fi fans who like parallel realities and family adventure, and creators who want to watch a longer AI narrative film and study how AI and traditional post-production fit together.
