Make a short film with AI, cast and all
Give Filmlume a story and a cast. It plans the scenes, keeps every character looking like themselves from the first frame to the last, lets them speak with matched lips or adds a narrator, and fills each place with its own sound.

Consistent characters
Upload photos of your cast and mention them with @name. They look the same at the market, in the kitchen and on the rooftop.
Characters who speak
Dialogue scenes are framed facing the camera and lip-synced, each character with their own voice.
Scene-by-scene sound
Rain, traffic, a quiet room: each scene has its own sound, softened under voices, never cut off between scenes.
You approve the plan
Read and edit the scenes, the lines and who says them before you pay for the render.
Long films. Low prices. Real quality.
Films up to ten minutes long
