AI startup launches fully AI-crafted 110-minute action comedy
Higgsfield AI released a 110-minute action comedy called The Cully Hill Boys, created almost entirely with artificial intelligence in four weeks on a $2 million budget.
Higgsfield AI, a company developing artificial-intelligence video tools, unveiled The Cully Hill Boys, a 110-minute action-comedy built almost entirely by AI. With a $2 million budget—half allocated to AI tokens—the film was assembled in just four weeks and features licensed celebrity likenesses. The plot tracks a group of struggling East London rappers who hijack a boat for a music-video shoot, only to discover it filled with cash and become caught between rival crime syndicates.
While the visuals sometimes display an unnaturally smooth finish, the dialogue benefits from a human screenwriter who added authentic voice. The company positions the film as proof of concept for democratizing long-form video production and offering scalable AI workflows to creators. Critics note occasional “prompt fatigue,” such as a nonchalant reaction to a violent beating, highlighting current limits of AI-driven acting. Higgsfield AI plans to expand the technology to broader creator markets.
