Festival shorts
A short for a festival or a reel
Take a script you have been sitting on to a finished two- or three-minute film with real dialogue, ready to submit to an AI film festival or cut into a showreel.
AI short film generator where your characters speak every line
Write a premise or paste a screenplay. Fliki casts the film, plans every shot, and renders scenes where the cast speaks its own dialogue, keeps the same faces from first scene to last, and plays over one original score.

Why filmmakers pick Fliki for AI short films
A film is people talking in a place. Most generators give you a clip.
Clip generators leave you to write every shot, hold every face and cut the film together. Fliki starts from the story and renders the whole film with one cast.
Your cast speaks every line
The dialogue is spoken inside each clip, on the character’s own mouth, with the room tone and sound effects rendered in the same pass. There is no narrator unless your story asks for one.
The same faces in every scene
Each character is drawn once on a reference sheet with a face lock, and every clip carries those sheets. Face, hair and wardrobe hold from the first scene to the last, for up to 5 speaking characters.
Paste a screenplay, keep every word
Scene headings and NAME: lines are read as a screenplay and kept word for word, in order. Or type a premise and Fliki writes the scenes and the dialogue for you.
Shots planned like a director would
Every shot gets a size, an angle and a move: eye-level, low, high, over-the-shoulder, profile or dutch. Lines are spoken on close-ups and medium shots, where a mouth stays sharp; wides are for silence.
Rooms that stay the same room
Each scene opens on a still. The first scene in a place draws its master frame, and every later scene there is an edit of it, so the furniture, the light and who stands where carry across the cut.
Ten looks, or let the story pick
Cinematic film, K-drama glow, Dark thriller, Vintage film, Soft romance, Documentary real, 3D cartoon, Anime, Comic book and Game cutscene. Auto reads your story and locks one look on every sheet and clip.
Save a character, cast them again
Save any character with its look and voice description, then cast them in your next film. Start a series with the same lead, or cast from your saved characters before the plan is written.
One score under the whole film
MiniMax Music 3 writes one instrumental score in the film’s palette and lays it under every scene, rising into the turn. The clips keep their own dialogue and sound at full volume above it.
Two engines, five video models
V1 cuts each scene into shots on Gen Video, MiniMax H3 Max, Wan 3.0 or Kling 4.0. V2 renders scenes of up to 30 seconds, directed shot by shot, on Wan 3.0, Kling 4.0 or Seedance 2.5, at up to 1080p.
How it works
How to make an AI short film in 4 steps
From a one-line premise or a finished screenplay to a scored short film, with the same cast in every scene.
Step 1
Tell the story
Describe who wants what and what goes wrong, or paste a screenplay. Fliki keeps your scene headings and dialogue word for word.
Step 2
Pick the look, cast and length
Choose a style or Auto, cast saved characters if you have them, and leave the length on Auto so the story decides it. Pick V1 or V2 and the video model.
Step 3
Review the plan and the cast
Fliki writes the scenes and shots and draws a reference sheet for every character. Check the cast and the plan before a single clip renders.
Step 4
Render and export
Each scene renders with its cast sheets and opening still attached, the score goes underneath, and the film exports as an MP4 at 9:16 or 16:9.
Use cases for an AI short film generator
One story engine. Every kind of short film.
Festival shorts, vertical series, animated stories and brand films, each told by characters who speak.
Vertical drama series
Episode after episode, the same cast
Save your leads once and cast them in every episode. Each part opens mid-conflict, turns once and ends on the cliffhanger that brings viewers back.
Animated shorts
The same story in a drawn world
Switch the look to 3D cartoon, Anime or Comic book and the cast sheets are drawn in that style too, so the characters still look like themselves in every scene.
Brand films
A story ad people watch to the end
Tell a thirty-second scene where the product is the turn in the plot, with real dialogue instead of a voiceover over stock footage.
Script previews
See the scene before you shoot it
Render a draft of a scene to test the dialogue, the blocking and the pacing before a real shoot, or to show a producer what the page means.
How to make an AI short film that holds together
What separates an AI short film from a pile of clips
Every clip in an AI film is rendered on its own, so anything not pinned down drifts between them. These are the rules Fliki’s Short film engine enforces, and the ones to follow with any tool.
Lock the cast before the first clip
Draw each character once on a reference sheet and send that sheet with every clip. Keep the speaking cast to four or five: every extra face is one more identity the model can lose between scenes.
Speak on faces, never on wides
A mouth smaller than a medium shot smears when a video model syncs speech to it. Put every line on a close-up or a medium shot, and keep wides for arrivals, silence and movement.
Size each scene to what is said
Video models speak at about 2.5 words a second. A scene padded past its dialogue fills the gap with lingering, so size it to its lines plus a breath, and keep wordless scenes to a single look.
Change two things on every cut
Cut from a wide to a close-up, or from eye-level to low, so the edit reads as a choice. Shot-reverse-shot in a conversation is the one exception. Dissolve for a jump in time or place; fade for the ending.
Build the room once
Establish each location in one master frame and open every later scene there on an edit of it. The furniture, the light and where people stand then survive the cut.
Write the last line first
Short films live on their ending. Open mid-conflict in the first three seconds, turn exactly once past the midpoint, and land on a final image the viewer remembers.
