AI Creates Sci-Fi Pilot, Premiering at Cannes
9 Oct
Summary
- Two fully AI-generated sci-fi series pilots will premiere at Mipcom in Cannes.
- This marks the first time AI-produced series episodes screen for buyers.
- Ex Machina Studios is behind both "Space Nation" and "Kira" series.
Two science-fiction series, "Space Nation" and "Kira," produced using generative AI, will have their pilot episodes debut at the TV market Mipcom next week in Cannes. This premiere is notable as it is believed to be the first instance of fully produced AI-generated series episodes being screened for buyers at a major international market.
"Space Nation," a co-production involving Utopai Studios and Globoplay, is set in the near future and follows elite pilots defending Earth from an alien threat. The series, consisting of eight 45-minute episodes, is created by Ex Machina Studios co-founder Marco Weber and directed by Martin Weisz.
"Kira," a French production from Ex Machina Studios, is an epic sci-fi fantasy series composed of six 35-minute episodes. The story is set on the living planet Djena and centers on a young girl named Kira on a quest to find her father. Both series, alongside Ex Machina's theatrical slate, position K5 Intl. as a leading world sales company for AI-generated content.
Daniel Baur, CEO of K5 Intl., expressed excitement about returning to Mipcom with a completed pilot for "Space Nation" and the addition of "Kira," emphasizing their nature as filmmaker-driven series produced with generative AI.
