Mommy is a vertically framed, AI-driven horror short that explores memory, identity, and the unsettling space between perception and truth. Told through a confined, intimate perspective, the film unfolds as a fragmented experience—where what is seen cannot always be trusted.
Designed specifically for vertical viewing, the film uses tight framing, controlled camera movement, and minimal environments to create tension. AI-driven image generation and transformation techniques were used to maintain visual consistency while introducing subtle distortions—allowing the imagery itself to become unstable over time.
The narrative avoids exposition in favor of implication. Small shifts—facial expressions, lighting changes, spatial inconsistencies—carry the emotional weight. The result is a slow escalation of unease, where the familiar gradually becomes threatening without ever fully revealing why.
The result is a contained, psychologically driven horror piece that leverages AI not for spectacle, but for control—using subtle visual manipulation to create a persistent sense of discomfort. Mommy demonstrates how AI can be used to support narrative tension in ways traditional production cannot easily achieve.
