Watch the “HAUL” Prologue Now.
For those who’ve been following along, I’ve been developing the world of Haul on and off for nearly two years.
One of the things I love about building Promise is having an incredible development team around me that helps keep these worlds alive, even when I’m pulled into bigger productions.
Over the long weekend, I decided to dive back in. I pushed some of the latest AI filmmaking tools, experimented with what they’re now capable of, and used them to go deeper into this world.
This is the result.
HAUL
In Purgatory, the dead earn their way into Heaven by hunting fallen angels. A guilt-ridden former Marine is one soul away from salvation when his final haul turns into a journey through Hell itself.
Watch the prologue below.
Halloween Vibes from @MetaPuppet 🎃
Just in time for Halloween. 🎃
This is THOMAS H8TE - Dante's Inferno reimagined, where the 9 circles of Hell are the 9 floors of a Brooklyn apartment building.
I released the first version last year. This year I rebuilt every shot with Seedance. The difference in one year is striking. 🎬🔥
⚠️ Horror imagery. Fiction.
So funny. My 8-year-old son looked up at the screen for two seconds and noticed I was watching "Sixth Sense." He asked what the movie was about and I said it's about a kid who can see ghosts. He looks at Bruce Willis talking to the kid and says "And that man is definitely a ghost." Kids are so smart these days. 😀

Went to the @CuriousRefuge AI Horror night in LA last night.
AI film contests now look like a real indie festival lineup.
Looking back at the past editions, the jump in visual and storytelling quality over the last year is hard to overstate.
