AI-crafted film ‘Cully Hill Boys’ blends human script with digital avatars
Higgsfield released an AI-generated feature called Cully Hill Boys, a story of three East London rappers built from a human-written script and extensive prompts.
Higgsfield’s latest AI-driven feature, Cully Hill Boys, follows three aspiring East London rappers who inadvertently steal a crime lord’s cash, a plot derived from Tim Planagan’s Black List screenplay. Co-directors Adilet Abish and Aitore Zholdaskali, who also oversaw Higgsfield’s Hell Grind, guided a team of nine directors to translate the human-written script into a full-length film using the company’s Cinema Studio suite.
The film employs the likenesses of streamer Mikyle “N3on” Rafiq, basketball content creator Matt Kiatipis and UFC champion Israel Adesanya, all licensed for digital use. By releasing the movie and the detailed prompts online, Higgsfield showcases its Seedance 2.5 capability to generate longer video segments and highlights collaborations with models from Anthropic, ByteDance and Google. Although the visual style pays homage to Edgar Wright and Guy Ritchie, the lack of on-set performances and occasional mismatched chemistry reveal the heavy reliance on AI. Ultimately, the work functions as a high-profile demonstration of AI filmmaking rather than a mainstream theatrical offering.
