AI short film shows 'Lionara' under zombie attack with National Day Parade as backdrop

Edenstone, a Singapore-based media studio, is preparing to release an AI-generated short film titled Bersama Majulah. The film, marking Singapore's 61st National Day, depicts the country under attack by a deadly spore pathogen outbreak. The narrative parallels Singapore's resilience and unity, highlighting adaptability and collective strength.

The project, led by award-winning producer Chan Gin Kai, is a spin-off of the studio's flagship IP, Spore Fall. The teaser trailer, set in Singapore's 2026 National Day Parade, shows the country transformed into a fictional city called Lionara, where the outbreak begins. Edenstone acknowledges that the film's creative choices may polarize viewers.

They view this as a demonstration of the nation's strength and unity in the face of adversity. The studio also clarifies that AI is used to aid, not control, the creative process. The film's release coincides with National Day and has already sparked online debate, reflecting its potential cultural impact.
