When you hear about AI in filmmaking, it’s easy to imagine futuristic movies made entirely by artificial intelligence. But the reality is much more nuanced. A short film called Deepheist appeared on YouTube last year. It was made with a very small budget, yet it looks professionally made and gives us a glimpse of the future of cinema.

Created by Glen Vivaris and his team, Deepheist cleverly mixes live-action footage with AI-generated scenes, pushing the boundaries of storytelling without needing a massive Hollywood budget.

Glen explains it this way:

“The film combined Deepware’s proprietary face replacement technology with hybrid live-action and generative AI. We demo cutting between AI and live-action shots, AI versions of real actors, split-screen hybrids, full AI characters, complete head replacements, and even entirely AI-generated characters. We did this on a shoestring budget.”

And he’s right. Watching Deepheist, it’s hard not to feel impressed (and maybe even slightly unsettled) by just how seamlessly AI-generated components blend with real-life actors. It’s a tech-infused thriller where AI is both behind the scenes and part of the narrative itself.
