Kotaku reviews Ash Koosha’s Odysseus: The Fall, a 135-minute AI-generated take on Homer’s Odyssey pitched as a tech demo rather than a Nolan-scale epic; while it looks impressive at first glance, the AI-produced visuals wobble with shifting faces and clumsy interactions, and Fountain 0 plans to rent it for $9.99, highlighting the broader critique that AI cinema is often more about selling tech than crafting art.
Fountain 0 and director Ash Koosha are releasing an AI-generated 135-minute film called Odysseus: The Fall, based on Homer’s Odyssey. The project uses the Kling AI video generator and notes-based scripts, features 12 human likenesses including Koosha as Odysseus, and had a mid-five-figure budget. Described as a rapid, exploratory example of AI filmmaking, the film is intended to spark discussion about AI’s role in cinema and will be available to rent or buy on Fountain 0’s site later this summer, with licenses limited to the Odysseus character.
Tribeca Festival world-premiered Dreams of Violets, a 75-minute docudrama that is the first fully AI-generated feature accepted by a marquee festival. Directed by Ash Koosha and produced by Fountain 0, the film was created using AI tools for about $2,000 and centers on five Iranians during January protests, seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. The project argues for AI’s potential in human storytelling while fueling ongoing debates about AI in cinema; Tribeca runs June 3–14 in New York with a noted lineup of jurors.
