Adobe Firefly Hands the Director’s Chair to You—Remix The Unfinished Film

Remix an unfinished film with Adobe Firefly. Use AI tools to direct, design, and share your own cinematic vision. The story starts with you.

What if a story didn’t start with a script or storyboard—but with a spark? That’s the idea behind The Unfinished Film, a new collaborative project from Adobe Firefly and director Sam Finn. At its core, it’s a creative invitation: download an unfinished film sequence, open up Firefly, and let your imagination take the lead. No rules, no roadmap just pure, generative experimentation.

Create Your Own Story with Adobe Firefly AI

Sam Finn’s original cut is the catalyst, but the film isn’t the point. The process is. Built on Adobe Firefly’s growing suite of generative tools—including video, audio, and visual effects—this project gives creators the power to remix, reframe, and reimagine with cinematic control. Whether you’re a motion designer, creative coder, or indie filmmaker, Firefly helps you move from concept to screen without friction.

And this isn’t automation. It’s amplification. The app includes tools like Firefly Boards for collaborative ideation, seamless integration with third-party models like Veo3 and Runway Gen-4, and support for moodboarding, style transfer, and more. Each output includes Content Credentials, so your vision stays yours.

From Claymation to Cinematics

To show what’s possible, four creators took Sam’s sequence and turned it into something completely their own. Their reimagined films—and behind-the-scenes looks—are live now at @adobefirefly.

  • Noémie Pino blended claymation and generative effects to create a dreamy, handcrafted narrative that’s tactile and deeply personal.
  • Phil Cohen fused fashion, visual effects, and futuristic transitions to push cinematic AI storytelling.
  • Jad Kassis used Firefly across image, video, and ideation tools to spotlight emotional storytelling with fast, fluid workflows.
  • Keenan Lam brought an educator’s lens—demonstrating how AI can expand creative control rather than compromise it.

It used to take years of learning—and a lot of money—to make a film. Now anyone with a vision can start. I’m excited to see what creators from non-traditional backgrounds will make when those barriers fall away. That’s what The Unfinished Film is about: opening the door for new voices and unexpected perspectives.
