12second Studio

A film studio in your pocket.

Describe your film in a paragraph. A director reads it, asks the few questions that matter, and writes the whole thing down — every shot, every cut. You approve every still before anything moves. Then it is cut to your music and it is yours.

Watch the film first — 1:46. It explains the whole thing.
