❤️ Honorable Mention CIAIFF 2025
Mark Wachholz

Have you ever wondered about all the films we lost – not to time, but to never having existed? Not abandoned projects, but films that were never written, never imagined, never even conceived. What if the cinema we know and love is just a fraction of what could have been? Let’s remember these films that were never made.

Created with Kling 2.0 Master, supported by the Kling Creative Partners Program (CPP). Additional shots generated with Runway Gen-4 and Hunyuan, with thanks to the Runway CPP and Nim CPP. Keyframe images created with Midjourney V7 Alpha. Music composed with Udio. Narration and sound design via ElevenLabs. The full script was hallucinated (beautifully) in one go by GPT-4o, based on my ideas and concept.
