HOLLYWOOD, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
IMAGENai Inc., a visionary GenAI creative studio, introduces “Lavender & The Butterfly Nation”, the world’s first GenAI-hybrid animated film blending AI-powered animation with human artistry.
The film follows Lavender, a curious yet painfully shy girl who struggles to trust or make friends after her family’s 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)—an international platform celebrating innovation in AI-powered storytelling—highlights creators who integrate generative tools.
“Lavender & The Butterfly Nation” 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.
“This is more than animation, it’s the beginning of a new filmmaking paradigm,” says producer Anoush Sadegh. “We’re not replacing human artistry; we’re amplifying it. This film proves that independent creators, and even young artists, can now bring cinematic-scale stories to life using AI.”
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 IMAGENai’s 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.
