AI Short Film Generator for Shorts, Teasers and Trailers
Name the runtime and the look, and filmaris, the AI short film creator, turns one idea into a short that is written, shot and scored to fit.
Your first short is on us: one minute of storyboard set in motion, voiced and ready to download.
An AI short film generator that starts with a tight script
A good AI short film generator has to respect the clock, because a short lives or dies by its running time. In filmaris the length is fixed before a single line is written: a teaser, a one-minute piece, a three-minute short, a trailer, or something longer if the story needs the room. The Script Writer then grows your one-line premise into a screenplay shaped for that slot, so the story fits the time you have. Prefer your own pages? Bring in the script you already wrote, or hand over a short story and let filmaris adapt it. Getting the screenplay costs nothing but your e-mail address.
An AI trailer maker for teasers and movie trailers
A trailer sells a whole story in a handful of moments: a silhouette running, a ship going up in flames, a pair of eyes in close-up, a skyline sinking into dusk. As an AI trailer maker, filmaris builds those moments from your own story. Upload the novel or bring in the screenplay, choose a trailer-length runtime, and filmaris works out each shot and generates it. To make the cut land, drop your own music track onto the timeline and edit the pictures against it yourself, or let ElevenLabs Music compose a score. Voices and sound effects are added too, so the teaser plays as a finished piece instead of a loose reel.
An AI short film maker with 12 looks to choose from
Style decides how a short is remembered long after it ends. Twelve style presets, cinematic, anime, noir and more, set the look, and the whole film is generated in it from the first frame to the final one. Your lead is drawn once and reused, so the same face carries every scene. Curious how the idea plays in another world? Run the same premise in a second preset and keep the version that suits your voice as a filmmaker. When the short is done, polish the edit in your browser and download it for a festival submission, your reel or your channel, or carry it on into the editing software you already use.
From logline to finished short in three steps
- 1
Pitch the logline, set the runtime
Type one sentence, bring in a script or upload a story. Then decide how long it runs: a teaser, a one-minute film, a three-minute short or a trailer.
- 2
Pick a look and check the plan
Settle on a style preset out of twelve. Read through the screenplay, meet the cast and flip through the storyboard yourself, or let filmaris go from first page to final shot unattended.
- 3
Watch, polish, deliver
The shots are generated, voiced and scored, then put together as one cut. Tighten the edit in the browser and download the finished short to your computer.
Shorts and trailers for festivals, reels and YouTube
Book and film trailers
Treat filmaris as your AI movie trailer maker for a novel or screenplay: a trailer-length runtime, dramatic generated shots and your own music track cut in on the timeline.
Director and writer reels
Show producers what your pages look like on screen. One short scene from your script, rendered in a style that suits it, says more than any logline.
YouTube storytelling
Turn a notebook of story ideas into a run of narrated shorts with voices, score and sound, one finished film per idea, each in the look your channel is known for.
What your free first short includes
Your first short, one minute long, is on us. filmaris drafts the screenplay, casts the roles and sketches every shot, then sets those storyboard frames in motion and voices your characters, ready to download. One such film per confirmed e-mail. Real AI video shots need a paid plan. The screenplay on its own, and a first look at your cast, places and props, cost you nothing either, so a premise can be tested before you commit to it.

Is the AI short film generator free to use?
Your first short is, at one minute. filmaris writes it, casts it and storyboards it, then turns those frames into a moving, voiced film that you download. Every confirmed e-mail gets one. Real generated video for each shot needs a paid plan.
How long should an artificial intelligence short film be?
You decide before the writing starts. Popular choices are a teaser, a one-minute film, a three-minute short or a trailer, and the screenplay is shaped to that length. If an idea needs more room, you can also choose a far longer runtime, up to a feature film.
Will filmaris act as an AI trailer maker for my book?
Yes. Upload the book or bring in the screenplay, choose a trailer runtime, and filmaris generates the key shots. Lay your own music on the timeline and edit the pictures to it, or let ElevenLabs Music compose a trailer score.
Which style presets can my short use?
There are 12 style presets, among them cinematic, anime and noir. The preset you pick sets the look for the whole short, so a festival drama and an anime trailer each hold one visual style from start to end.
Can I add my own footage or music to an AI short film?
Yes. Put your own clips, stills and sound on the timeline next to the generated shots, whether that is a title card, a shot you filmed on location or the song your trailer should run to.
May I post my short on a monetized YouTube channel?
Yes, on a paid plan: paid plans include commercial use, so a monetized channel or a short you sell belongs there. Commercial use is not part of the Free plan, which makes it the place to test an idea before you publish.
