Startup Higgsfield AI released its 95-minute AI-generated film "Hell Grind" at the Cannes Film Festival in May, garnering both praise for its stunning visuals and criticism for its nonsensical plot. The San Francisco-based AI startup has now launched Higgsfield Academy to teach the techniques used to create the movie free of charge.
The company sees its AI films as educational tools to introduce the next generation of filmmakers to the technology while also promoting its AI platform, Cinema Studio. Higgsfield AI has attracted over 31 million monthly visits and serves more than 26 million users worldwide, and claims to be the fastest-growing generative AI company in history.
The company's co-founder and CEO, Mahi de Silva, explains that the release of the prompts used to create "Hell Grind" is intended to bridge the gap between AI demos and actual production use. De Silva emphasizes that the company wants to incorporate filmmakers' existing skills into the AI workflow instead of asking them to abandon their knowledge.
The Academy program offers a formal curriculum and allows users to study the workflows behind Higgsfield's films, with prompts detailed enough to ensure visual consistency within their proprietary platform.
