ABOUT
Produced over the course of 5 months with a production budget under $700, "Snow Colored Ashes" confronts grief and faith in the aftermath of catastrophic violence, while demonstrating both the increasing potential and technical limitations of generative AI. AI-generated visuals and audio were used in compliance with the Framework for AI Responsibility (FAIRCodex) to test the extent to which this developing technology can be utilized to visualize personal stories rooted in painful lived experiences.
CHARACTERS
The Nahrune family are the main characters of "Snow Colored Ashes". Each of their names are interconnected through Senguto linguistic roots and cultural symbolism, tying their family’s story to the broader history of the Lyone Tropic.
