LONDON, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMAGENai Inc., a boundary-pushing GenAI creative studio, unveils its pioneering animated feature, Lavender & The Butterfly Nation โ a cinematic breakthrough that combines generative AI with human-directed storytelling.
The film follows Lavender, a curious yet painfully shy girl who struggles to trust or make friends after her familyโs sudden evacuation. She discovers a magical realm of butterfly people, where she learns courage, friendship, and kindness while helping unite the realm against a jealous wasp bent on destruction. The film conveys themes of inclusion and transformation for families and young adults, blending science fiction, fantasy, and heartfelt moral storytelling.
Its teaser, a finalist at AIMF (Artificial Intelligence Media Festival)โan international platform celebrating innovation in AI-powered storytellingโhighlights creators who integrate generative tools.
โLavender & The Butterfly Nationโ is produced by Anoush Sadegh (PGA) and written by Mandy Fason (SAG-AFTRA). The production utilizes a groundbreaking GenAI pipeline, leveraging tools enhanced by human-directed ballet motion capture. The result is a cost-effective, visually stunning film that empowers indie creators to compete at blockbuster levels.
โThis is more than animation, itโs the beginning of a new filmmaking paradigm,โ says producer Anoush Sadegh. โWeโre not replacing human artistry; weโre amplifying it. This film proves that independent creators, and even young artists, can now bring cinematic-scale stories to life using AI.โ
While the teaser showcases AI-driven visuals and motion-captured ballet, the feature-length film is set to introduce original music and youth voice talent, part of IMAGENaiโs broader vision to empower emerging artists.
The teaser is under consideration at Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, WSXA Barcelona, and Norwich Film Festival. IMAGENai Inc. welcomes aligned collaborations in streaming, licensing, and mission-driven initiatives as the studio brings this fully realized film to global audiences.
IMAGENai Inc. is currently exploring festival and distribution opportunities in the UK and Ireland.
