About the film
Midnight Station is a psychological thriller short by Rafael Beck (2beck), 3 minutes 15 seconds long. A man who has always felt out of place boards a mysterious train to get away, and the journey turns his inner anxiety into a chase and a monster. In his festival submission he lists the work split: Midjourney for images, Minimax and Kling AI to animate them, and ElevenLabs for voices. The film was a narrative finalist at the Austin AI Film Festival 2025, where the organisers say every competing film was made with AI.
Who it's for:viewers who like night trains, nightmares and slow-building psychological dread.
