The Cinema That Never Was I An AI Short Film

Description: This AI video essay by Mark Wachholz (@Particle Panic) mourns the infinite films that were never written, never imagined, never conceived—conjuring dreamlike clips from impossible cinema using AI to ask what decides which stories get to exist and which remain spectral companions in the void. The piece uses AI not to replace cinema but to amplify our appreciation for it, transforming absence into pure cinematic poetry that haunts with strange familiarity.
