Higgsfield posts an AI-made movie and the prompts used to make it

In short: Higgsfield uploaded an AI-made feature film called Cully Hill Boys and published many of the text prompts used to generate its scenes.

What happened

Higgsfield, a company that sells access to AI video tools, released Cully Hill Boys online on YouTube. Alongside the movie, it posted many of the prompts, meaning the written instructions that tell AI systems what to create (like giving a very detailed order to a kitchen).

The film follows three struggling rappers from East London who accidentally steal a crime lord’s money. It was codirected by Adilet Abish and Aitore Zholdaskali, and it is based on a script first written by Tim Planagan. The script also appeared on the Black List, a well-known service where unproduced screenplays are shared with the industry.

Instead of filming actors on a set, Higgsfield used licensing agreements to use the likenesses of streamer Mikyle “N3on” Rafiq, basketball creator Matt Kiatipis, and UFC fighter Israel Adesanya. In other words, the movie uses their faces and voices without them acting out scenes in person.

The Verge reports that the workflow used multiple AI systems. Higgsfield also shared that some prompts referenced specific filmmaking styles, including mentions of “GUY RITCHIE COVERAGE” and “Edgar Wright snap.”

Why it matters

This is a clear example of where AI movie making is heading. Companies are not just posting finished videos, they are showing the recipe too. It also highlights a key point raised in the report, the movie’s strongest parts come from human work, such as a human-written script and licensed performances, even if the images and clips are AI-generated.
