Higgsfield has released the AI-generated film *Cully Hill Boys* and prompts for it
Higgsfield, a platform for creating videos using artificial intelligence, has published the full-length project *Cully Hill Boys* online, along with most of the prompts used during its production. The film was created to showcase the capabilities of the Cinema Studio toolkit and the recently added Seedance 2.5 feature, according to The Verge.
*Cully Hill Boys* tells the story of three rappers from East London who accidentally steal money from a crime boss. The project was co-directed by Adilet Abish and Aitor Zoldaskali, who previously worked on the film *Higgsfield Hell Grind*. It is based on a screenplay by Tim Planagan, which was submitted to the Black List platform for unproduced screenplays. Planagan granted Higgsfield the rights to adapt the story using generative AI, but retained the rights to its traditional film adaptation.
For the lead roles, Higgsfield cast streamer Mikyle “N3on” Rafiq, basketball content creator Matt Kiatipis, and UFC fighter Israel Adesanya. They did not film scenes on set, but they signed licensing agreements with the company to allow their likenesses to be used in the project. The avatars were created based on photographs and audio recordings provided by the real people.

According to Higgsfield, several models were used to work on the film. Claude from Anthropic was used to prepare prompts, Seedance 2.5 was used to generate video and speech, and Seedream from ByteDance and Nano Banana from Google were used to edit images and video. The team distributed workflows among the different models, specifically preparing separate prompts for creating images and video clips.
The Verge notes that some of the published prompts reference the stylistic techniques of directors Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright, specifically including the phrases “GUY RITCHIE COVERAGE” and “Edgar Wright snap.” The publication also points out that the script, written by a human, largely ensured the story’s coherence. At the same time, the film retains flaws typical of generative video, such as illegible text on screen and weak character interactions.
