About the film
Let Us Explore is a short by Gabe Michael that won Best Character at the first edition of Runway's GEN:48 in October 2023. Runway's YouTube description lists only the filmmaker and a voting link, so there is no official synopsis to go on. GEN:48 is Runway's 48-hour AI filmmaking challenge, and the official page says entrants make short films with AI video generation tools; the filmmaker has not said which specific tools were used. The same filmmaker won Best Art Direction at the second edition with Unknown, so the two make a natural pair.
Who it's for:Anyone curious about early AI film challenge winners, especially how a character holds up in under a minute and a half.
Before you watch: Free on YouTube, about 1.5 minutes. Language is not stated; YouTube offers auto-generated English captions, not human-made ones.
Based on public information from the festival and the creator. Watch the film itself for the full picture.
