An independent creator reportedly produced a 94-minute feature film adapting Liu Cixin's sci-fi novel Mountain using AI video tools, at a cost of only about 20,000 RMB ($2,800 USD).
The project is being shared widely as a landmark example of solo AI filmmaking — one person achieving what previously required a studio-sized team and budget, and demonstrating how far AI video generation has come on long-form narrative and visual consistency.
