4 films to make first
Pick one and it opens in Lula's chat, already typed. Change anything before you send it.
- 1
One-location drama
Two characters, one room, one turn in the story. The cheapest way to learn pacing, and it plays well on any feed.

Silent comedy
No dialogue, just a clear goal and things going wrong. Physical comedy reads in every language.

Nature documentary spoof
A serious narrator voice over something ordinary. Easy to write, easy to share.

Sci-fi cold open
Thirty seconds that set up a world and end on a question. Good practice for trailers.

From idea to film in one chat
Lula does the planning. You make the calls that matter.
- 1
Tell Lula the idea
A sentence is enough. Lula asks one sharp question if something important is missing, in any language you write in.
- 2
She plans every shot
Scenes, shots, durations, aspect ratio and a look bible that keeps characters, wardrobe and light the same from shot to shot.
- 3
You approve the frames
Each shot starts as an opening frame on its card. Approve it, or ask for another take. Only approved frames can be rendered.
- 4
Render, cut, export
Hear the exact credit price, say yes, and the shots render with sound. Trim, reorder and add music on the timeline, then export.

How an AI short film gets made
A short film made with AI still follows the old order of work: an idea, a shot list, a look, then the shots themselves. What changes is who does the slow parts. Lula writes the shot list from your idea, keeps the characters and the light the same from shot to shot with a written "look bible", and turns each approved frame into video.
You stay the director. You can answer Lula's questions, change any shot, regenerate a frame you don't like, or rewrite a script line yourself. Nothing renders until you have seen the opening frame and the price.

Frequently asked questions
Each shot runs up to 30 seconds, and the timeline exports films up to 2 minutes. Most people start with 3 to 6 shots of 5 seconds each.
No. One or two sentences are enough. Lula asks a question if something important is missing, proposes the scenes and shots, and writes each shot for you. Switch to detailed mode if you want to talk lenses and coverage.
Yes. Shots render with native audio: ambience, sound effects and spoken lines you write in quotes. You can add your own music track on the timeline before you export.
New accounts start with 20 free credits, and plans start at $7.99/month. Frames and renders cost credits; Lula tells you the exact price before every render and only starts after you say yes.
