Have you ever imagined a movie that changes every time you watch it?
At OOVIE Studios, we create Interactive AI Movies: films that interact with live music and change their plot based on the music interpretation. We’ve already premiered our movies during the Venice Film Festival, Piccolo Teatro Strehler, and on stage with world-class soloists and orchestras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c9n-hpXEDY
