WHAT IS FOUNDRY?
Nightjar Foundry is the experimental arm of Nightjar Films — a creative lab where we forge ideas at the edge of storytelling and AI. Human craft meets generative technology: visuals, and sound built with AI, refined by real filmmakers. The Foundry isn’t about replacing human filmmakers, it's about using the new tools to amplify them. Nightjar Foundry is where we test, break, and rebuild what film can be next.
​
CRASH BURN REPEAT
A washed-up actor lands a once-in-a-lifetime role—only to find himself trapped on set with the world’s most abusive superstar and the world’s worst director.
​
A deadpan, character-driven micro-drama shot like a traditional comedy, but enhanced with AI flashbacks that let us jump through the characters past without giant budgets or big crews.
HALCYON
Maggie León comes to Halcyon looking for her missing brother. She finds something far more dangerous: herself. In a place where memories can be relived, rewritten, and erased, Maggie must confront a truth she buried long ago. But when your memories can be rewritten, the truth is impossible.
​
Used AI to create a sizzle for the pitch deck of Halcyon.
MY HUSBAND IS A GANGSTER SOLDIER BILLIONAIRE HELICOPTER PILOT
Charmaine has one problem. She's married to a gangster who is soldier but also a billionaire who is also a helicopter pilot.
​
Creating a ultra lux, ultra luxury looking world for this parody of romantic microdramas.
THE MYTHICALS
What if legendary childhood icons like Santa, Tooth Fairy, Cupid and the Easter Bunny were a dysfunctional covert strike team?
​
Experimenting with character consistency in VEO3.
​
Mythical characters were used because of their archetype nature. Little details on each character change vastly.
​
Physics on gingerbread men was spotty.

DUMB COCKS
What if there was an MI5 Team slower than the Slow Horses, that's the Dumb Cocks.
​
Another AI experiment to get consistent tone and lighting.
In this case the gritty, muted, naturalistic tone of Slow Horses (which is great).
Also more experimenting with character consistency. You can see the agents get younger and older, and one of them switches hair and eye colour.
