About the film
PLIERS was made by Nelson Quimbay, Wilman Aguilera Charry and Juan Felipe Ortiz, and received People's Choice Silver at the second edition of Runway's GEN:48 in February 2024. The official description lists the three filmmakers and nothing about the story. The festival lists the film at 1:50, while the version on YouTube runs 4 minutes, so the upload is noticeably longer than the listed cut. GEN:48 is Runway's 48-hour AI filmmaking challenge; the filmmakers have not said which AI tools they used.
Who it's for:Viewers curious about AI shorts made by a small team under a tight deadline.
Before you watch: Free on YouTube; this version is about 4 minutes. Language and subtitles are not stated; the watch page has no English caption track.
Based on public information from the festival and the creator. Watch the film itself for the full picture.
