Hollywood. For the Love of Cinema

Work

Filmmakers Launch Christmas Message “Hollywood. For the Love of Cinema.” Showcasing a deeper technique with AI.

Written & Directed by:
SÜNDERMANN & FRAME EIGHT

Launch date December 25th 2025 “HOLLYWOOD. FOR THE LOVE OF CINEMA.” A Cinematic Extravaganza of Excellence.

Our Technique: Work AGAINST AI and have full picture control.

WORKFLOW EXPLAINED
AI is all about making suggestions. We worked against it. Nothing was left to automatisation, chance, presets, or shortcuts. Every decision was directed—frame by frame—with the same intent and control as a traditional film set.

Performance came first. We treated AI actors like real actors: directing rhythm, timing, subtext, and physicality until each performance aligned with the vision. Some shots took over 180 takes. It was difficult. It was slow. But we can confirm AI Filmmaking can go further than what most people think.

World-building was crafted entirely from scratch. Every frame evokes the films we love—not by imitation, but by construction. Every tree, set piece, wardrobe choice, and mud splash was designed by hand. Every movement was defined. Every background character placed with purpose. From wind direction and water ripples to the angle of sunlight. Yes we even counted and directed the amount of eye blinking, we went very far—nothing was generated automatically.

This “Hollywood. For the Love of Cinema” is not about speed.

It’s about control.

And directing cinema—without compromise.

“We believe the entertainment industry is entering the most creative moment in cinema history, and AI is at the core of that shift”. Not as a replacement for actors or filmmakers, but as a new creative category. The spectacular thing about working with AI is, that it is possible to have full picture control, it’s liberating creative storytelling potential, while your production costs and risk go down. The Holy Trinity: Creatives, Producers and Investors all win here. That's never been seen before. That is why, we think, AI workflows will become the beating heart of all global Entertainment." said by director SÜNDERMANN

PRODUCTION
This project was created in 28 days for 4 minutes of content. For a feature 90 min length it would take us 22 months (by 2 people). But we believe this will be speed up over time and if you add 8 people to support shot building you can create a full high quality movie every 5 months (ex sound design/grade). Cost? You need a crew of 10 talented people to make the movies you always dreamed of making.

Software: With Google VEO 3.1.
Non speaking cut aways: Kling 2.6
