Creative Production Market: Agency's AI Film

Executive Signal Summary

Grabarz & Partner produced a near-fully AI-generated short film titled "Artificial Emotions" for the Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe und Suizidprävention that visualizes a symptom of depression — emotional numbness — using AI-created characters except for one real protagonist, Enosch Wolf. The spot, timed to appear the week of August 2 to coincide with transparency obligations under the EU AI Act, has already won a Gold prize at the LTX Awards (a New York Festivals sub-award). Production credits include IMAG/NE (Grabarz & Partner's in‑house AI production) using LTX.Studio, postproduction by &action (in‑house), and music by Mokoh Music in Berlin.
