On the slate

The studio

One writer.
A new kind of camera.

Next Era Cinema is an independent studio built around stories that were written long before the tools existed to film them.

Every project starts as an original script. AI is the camera, the set and the effects department, but every frame is directed: composed, prompted, selected and cut by hand.

We make the films at home on our own hardware and release them for free on YouTube and social media.
