100-word summary
Deep Frame, a 90-minute fully AI-rendered feature film from Mindatorium Studios, premiered February 10, 2026 at The Culver Theater in LA. Directed by Henning Morales, the film features AI-generated visuals with 40+ human voice actors. The studio claims it's the first photorealistic AI film to hit mainstream theaters, though major trade press hasn't independently verified the milestone. It's streaming exclusively on Echos TV. If Deep Frame gains traction, it could open the floodgates for AI-generated cinema, forcing Hollywood to reckon with synthetic production at feature length.
