Ethereal Moon Films has released 'Altered State', a 21-minute drama/fantasy/sci-fi short created entirely with Director Mode in CapCut Video Studio, now streaming on the AI film platform Escape.
The story follows Henri, a lifelong skeptic in a neon-drenched city who buys an herbal sleep drink and wakes up somewhere he was never meant to be — a tale about desire and its costs, billed as the first entry in the Hypnia-verse.
- 21 minutes long, made with CapCut as the only production tool
- Demonstrates consumer-grade editing software being pushed into long-form AI narrative filmmaking
- Created by @EtherealGwirl and @LeMoonSynth
