"A series of experiences that you do not choose and that you have lived out of fear of loneliness," and a reflection on how time passing leaves you belonging nowhere, like a tune caught between radio stations. YZA Voku made it in 48 hours for [Runway's second Gen:48](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/gen48-edition-2), building images in Midjourney and Photoshop, animating them with Runway Gen-2 and adding an ElevenLabs narrator. It won Best Craft there, then a Merit award at [Runway's second AI Film Festival](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/aiff-2024) three months later.
