AI Inspiration WorldAbout the film
The Cold Start is a short film Vaish Yeruva released on YouTube, about two minutes long. The description opens with "An AI film by Vaish Yeruva" and says it was made for the Filmmaking track of the AAIFF Global GenJam 2026 at the Austin AI Film Festival. It is a fable built around the road and riding; the description says it was shot nowhere and is set in Austin. Its tags mention generative tools including Seedance, without detailing how each was used. What sets it apart is that it tells a complete small story made for a time-limited creative jam. We only confirmed the creator's own statement about entering; we didn't check the festival's official lists, so this doesn't indicate an award or selection.
Who it's for:viewers curious about work from AI film festival jams who enjoy short fables.
Before you watch: free on YouTube, about two minutes, and the platform may show ads. The description is in English; the spoken language and subtitles aren't stated. The creator hasn't granted any reuse rights.
