Moonshine Pistola — An Experimental AI Short Film

Moonshine Pistola is a short piece assembled using AI-generated imagery, treated as found footage.

Working this way means accepting a certain lack of control — something that’s not unfamiliar to filmmaking when you’re not shooting everything yourself. The images don’t always behave. They shift, resist, and sometimes take the piece somewhere I didn’t plan.

The footage isn’t random though. It’s guided by my own sketches, drawings, and photographs — including images of my cat, Sascha.

This is a small experiment in directing through curation rather than control. Less about forcing an outcome, more about recognizing something when it starts to take form.
