Lights in the Shadows follows Batman of San Jose and Crimson Fist as they hand out water and food to the unhoused community in San Jose.

During their missions they discuss their views about what is leading to the rapidly growing homelessness crisis in their area, the common misconceptions other citizens have about the unhoused and what policymakers can, and should, be doing to help the most vulnerable in their districts.

The project was produced by nine participants and two staff members during the 2024 MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop.

We’ve created a case study that details how we built the Seattle AI Film Festival website. 

The website serves not just as a document of the festival itself, but as a record of the early stages of generative AI filmmaking at this historic moment in time.
