Higgsfield AI Produces 80-Minute Feature Film in 14-Day Production Sprint

Higgsfield AI, an AI video platform hosting models like Sora and Kling, announced it is bringing a full 80-minute AI feature film to Cannes. Titled Hell Grind, the project was completed in a 14-day sprint using 10 million credits. It utilizes Higgsfield Canvas, a node-based workspace (connecting models visually) for production.

This milestone signals that generative video is moving beyond short social clips toward long-form narrative viability. While competitors like Kling AI's 4K resolution focus on fidelity and HeyGen's Seedance 2.0 controls target consistency, Higgsfield is prioritizing the end-to-end workflow required to sustain a feature-length story.

You can access the same Cinema Studio tools used for the film to control focal length and camera movement. While the full feature is heading to festival circuits, a 23-minute breakdown of the production is available. The platform remains open for creators to build cinematic assets.

We’re going to Cannes with Hell Grind, a full 80-minute AI feature film. The first AI company stepping into cinema at this scale. A 14-day sprint and 10M credits. Chuck Russell, director of The Mask, watched 23 minutes and was visibly stunned. Watch his reaction below 👇 https://t.co/V2YoNRdr1E

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Hell Grind is an 80-minute feature film produced entirely using artificial intelligence. It represents a significant scale for AI-generated cinema, moving beyond short clips to a full theatrical runtime. The project was created to demonstrate the capabilities of the Higgsfield AI platform in maintaining narrative and visual consistency across a long-form narrative production.

The production of the 80-minute feature film was completed in a 14-day sprint. This timeline is significantly shorter than traditional film production cycles, highlighting the speed at which AI tools can generate cinematic content. The project served as a high-intensity test of the platform's ability to handle large-scale media pipelines under tight deadlines.

Producing the full 80-minute feature film required 10 million platform credits on Higgsfield AI. These credits power the various generative models and cinematic tools within the platform, such as focal length and camera movement controls. This provides a concrete benchmark for the computational resources and platform costs associated with industrial-scale AI filmmaking.

The film was built using Higgsfield AI's professional suite, including Cinema Studio and Canvas. Cinema Studio allows creators to direct motion by controlling sensor size, focal length, and camera movement. Canvas is a node-based workspace that enables teams to chain different AI models together to create repeatable production lines for consistent visual assets.

Higgsfield is premiering the full 80-minute version of Hell Grind at the Cannes Film Festival. For those not attending the festival, the company has released a 23-minute breakdown of the production online. Creators can also access the same Higgsfield AI platform and tools used in the production to create their own cinematic content.
