Why the studio makes its own films

A commissioned film has to behave: a brand, a product, a deadline. An original has nowhere to hide. OVERHEAD is where the studio finds out what the method can carry when nobody is paying for it — long dialogue, a cast that has to stay the same person across a dozen shots, a light that has to mean something by the end. Everything that survives here is what a client gets offered next.

The visual thesis

One image: a warm glass room on a frozen lake, and a cold disc above it that never explains itself. The house is all sightline and no shelter — the people inside can see everything coming and still cannot agree on what to do about it.

The production

Script first, then a character sheet for every face so the same person survives every shot. Each line of dialogue is recorded before a frame is generated, and the picture is cut to the voice — never the other way round. Then edit, sound design, score and grade, under one director.

Declared, not hidden

Every film on this page is AI-generated and says so beside the player. The story is invented; the disclosure isn't.
