ABOUT
In 2059, a fisherman returns to his Brazilian coastal village with an AI-assisted marine device built for commercial fleets. He uses it with one promise: take only what the sea can spare. When the device restores the catch and detects a signal from the waters where his father vanished, he follows it toward a truth no machine can measure — and a future his daughter can believe in. Adapted from Marcel Crespin's novel "Brisas do Outeiro," the film imagines a future where technology kneels to the living world instead of replacing it — where a new tool and an old hand-net share the same boat. Written and directed by Daniel Davidsohn, it was built shot by shot from a continuity-tracked visual bible, with every frame directed by hand and AI used strictly as an instrument of execution.

PROCESS
It started with the book. I adapted Marcel Crespin's novel "Brisas do Outeiro" into an original screenplay, defining the narrative structure, scene breakdown and dialogue myself. AI writing tools assisted with drafting and refinement, never with the story itself. Before generating anything, I researched real locations mentioned in the book along the Brazilian coast and used them as references for geography, architecture and light, so the village would feel like a place that exists, not an invented one. From there I built a continuity-tracked visual bible: character reference sheets, environment imagery and lighting rules, locked and carried forward from scene to scene. Every video clip began with its own reference image. I generated a keyframe for each shot in Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2, then animated it in Kling 3.0 using prompts , shot by shot. Blocking, gaze direction, pacing, what to show and what to withhold were all decided before generation, not discovered in it. The original score and sound design were created with Suno. Editing, pacing and final color were done in CapCut, where the final cut was shaped.
