Inspiration

We wanted to explore mental health through a cinematic lens, using AI as a metaphor for the internal voices that distort self-perception.

What it does

The film follows an Asian teen navigating the pressures of school while an AI-like “dark thought” voice manipulates his doubts, amplifying his depression.

How we built it

We combined narrative storytelling with AI-inspired visuals and sound design—giving the inner voice a technological yet haunting personality.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing sensitive themes like depression while keeping the film both thought-provoking and respectful was our biggest challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a unique fusion of psychological drama and speculative AI, making the invisible struggles of mental health both visceral and cinematic.

What we learned

We learned how powerful metaphors can be when merging technology and human emotion, and how storytelling can make invisible battles feel seen.
