THE REMEMBERING DOOR

The Remembering Door is a surreal AI-animated short film about memory, choice, and resilience. In a dreamlike world unraveling into chaos, a small stitched creature named Lumen must face a critical decision: to disappear into forgetting — or to hold onto presence and become something more. Created in 48 hours for the Runway Gen-48 competition, the film explores the fragile power of remembering when everything else begins to fall apart. Written, Directed, and Animated by: Michael Cole Created with: Runway GEN-4, Midjourney, Magnific, Eleven Labs, Epidemic Sound, Topaz Video, and ChatGPT 4o
