Siraj Raval shared a 3-minute short film titled 'THE LAST EXAM' produced for only $90, contrasting sharply with the millions a traditional studio would spend. Set in Kerala, 2039, the plot follows a village teacher betting on twelve kids, drones, and monsoon to save her school. The tech stack includes Higgsfield, Seedance 2.0, Elevenlabs, and Suno. The entry is for the FutureVision XPRIZE.
