AI film studio · Est. 2025
DUMBORD
We shoot the impossible.
DUMBORD is an AI film studio: it makes cinema with artificial intelligence instead of sets, crews and locations, starting from a single written line.
Everything you see from DUMBORD was never built. No sets, no crews, no limits: every film starts as one sentence and every frame is imagined. The studio was established in 2025 as a Xooteq initiative.
It also makes its own music. Sanctum, the original soundtrack, is 27 songs in 4 movements, released in 2026.
How a film happens: three moves
- 01
Write — One line is enough.
A film starts as one sentence. That sentence is the whole brief.
- 02
See — Every frame, before it exists.
The shot nobody can get — the city from inside the storm — is seen, frame by frame, before anything is made.
- 03
Release — Into the world.
Then it goes where it has to land: a cinema, a feed, a wall in Tokyo.

We don’t ask physics for permission.
- IV

The impossible is just early.

Fire was the first screen.
Questions
What is DUMBORD?
DUMBORD is an AI film studio, established in 2025 as a Xooteq initiative. It makes cinema with artificial intelligence instead of sets, crews and locations: every frame is imagined, nothing is built. Its line is “We shoot the impossible.”
What does an AI film studio do?
It makes films with generative AI rather than physical production. Where a traditional studio builds sets, hires crews and travels to locations, DUMBORD describes the shot and makes it, so the only limit on a scene is whether it can be imagined.
How does DUMBORD make a film?
In three moves. Write: a film starts as one sentence, and that line is the brief. See: every frame is seen before it exists. Release: the finished work goes out into the world — a cinema, a feed, a wall in Tokyo.
How do I start a project with DUMBORD?
Write one line. Send the sentence your film starts with through the Write form on dumbord.com or at dumbord.com/projects, with an address to reply to. DUMBORD reads every line.
What is Sanctum?
Sanctum is DUMBORD’s original soundtrack: 27 songs in four movements — I Fire, II Jungle, III Mirage and IV Smoke — released in 2026. It plays at dumbord.com/music, with every word of the lyrics lit as it is sung.
Where can I listen to DUMBORD’s music?
At dumbord.com/music, free, in the browser. The Sanctum player can be added to a phone’s home screen like an app, and every song has its own page with its lyrics at dumbord.com/music/ followed by the song’s name.
How do I hear about new DUMBORD releases first?
Turn on release notices in the Sanctum player at dumbord.com/music (“Be told first”). You will be told when the next songs land.
