🎥 Focal - AI movie studio

Focal is an AI movie studio. We build tools that help users convert books and screenplays into movies. Eventually we will distribute these shows on our platform, similar to Netflix.

🎥 Focal

Focal manages the entire process of turning a book into a movie, including:

• using language models to adapt books into screenplays
• generating video clips and stitching them together
• generating audio clips to match video
• keeping characters consistent across clips
• lip-syncing characters with dialogue
