A 110-minute action feature built with Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield for $2,000,000, with a real cast performing alongside the generated filmmaking, released free with every prompt and asset public six days after the studio's last open-sourced feature.

The casting is the strategic move. N3on, Israel Adesanya, Matt Kiatipis, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson: a streamer and two former UFC champions, not working actors. PJ Accetturo called it the first AI feature with real celebrity actors, a narrower, more defensible claim than usual. Two AI features fully open-sourced inside a week, from the same studio, at four times the budget of the first: the workflow is now the product and the movie is the advertisement.
