AI Inspiration WorldAbout the film
REFRAME is a short by Hiroki Shioya, posted on YouTube in September 2026 and running about five and a half minutes. It's an entry in the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. A chance encounter leads an ordinary commuter to notice the colors, kindness and quiet beauty that had been around them all along. The tagline is "The same world, seen differently." The creator says every image was generated in Higgsfield Cinema Studio with no outside images, video or reference material, and some of the audio used Adobe Firefly; the full generation history is public on his Higgsfield project page, which is useful for anyone who wants to see how an AI film is built step by step.
Who it's for:viewers looking for a warm, everyday story, and creators who want to study how an AI film gets generated.
