Director Statement

Insomnia is a hybrid short film intertwining material shot on set with generative content produced through various artificial intelligence tools. From the outset, our narrative goal was to clearly differentiate the two visual universes, later establishing bridges of communication between both dimensions. Thus, the symbolic language of dreams and the unconscious provided a dynamic terrain to integrate the aesthetic code of the virtual within experimental therapeutic sessions. Insomnia testifies that AI is not just a technical resource, but an extension of human creative potential, demonstrating that new production designs can expand the horizons of audiovisual creation.
