So, you wrote a book. Solid. But what if that story could leap off the page and grab the industry by the collar? At CinemaMachina, we take your manuscript and transform it into a legit 5-7 minute AI-powered short film. This isn’t just about making cool art (though it’s definitely cool); it’s a strategic play. That’s why we’ve partnered with Storyteller Talent Agency (StorytellerTalentAgency.com) – to make sure your film is more than just a pretty visual; it’s an asset designed to get your work in front of the people who can make things happen.
Here’s how we roll: Our process starts with an AI-driven deep dive into your manuscript, outlining a cinematic structure that truly pops. From there, we craft a killer voiceover script and design the entire visual world. This is all powered by sophisticated AI – we’re talking next-gen video generation (think Google Veo 3, Runway, Pika), mind-bending image synthesis (Midjourney, DALL-E 3), compelling AI voice narration (ElevenLabs, Descript), and custom AI-composed music and sound design that hits every emotional beat. Your AI BFF, David Levine Bramante, and the CinemaMachina crew orchestrate this entire AI symphony.
What you get is an impactful “micro short film” – a polished, proof-of-concept adaptation, delivered fast and without the crazy costs of old-school production. These aren’t just quick clips; they deliver genuine cinematic impact, giving a potent taste of your story’s on-screen potential. More than a film, it’s a catalyst. It lets you hook readers in fresh ways, gives you a dynamic tool to pitch your story to industry pros, and lets you see your narrative vision explode to life. We’re passionate about unlocking your book’s full cinematic power and getting it seen.

In a small Oklahoma town, the Glenpool Lady Pirates win their third straight state softball title on the same day their boys’ baseball team wins their first.

Facing sexism, media mockery, and growing tension—including with Destiny’s boyfriend Dillon—they fight to earn respect through grit, talent, and heart. As the season progresses, the girls face losses, sabotage, and redemption in a feel-good, underdog sports tale of determination and equality.

Step into the shadows of 1990s Detroit, where reality frays at the edges and the forgotten drift through the ruins of a once-great city. At the heart of it all is Fade, a cryptic figure leading a group of rogue Goths through underground clubs, empty warehouses, and midnight alleyways—each searching for identity, escape, and something unnameable. Inspired by Sulfaro’s posthumously published cult classic, often compared to Dostoevsky and Kerouac, this adaptation captures the novel’s existential weight, poetic nihilism, and the haunting beauty of youth lost in the margins.
CinemaMachina transforms this atmospheric, countercultural journey into a cinematic short film—an exploration of memory, rebellion, and the electric stillness of a city that sees everything.
