Backed by conviction — building OpenXanAI

Turn any story into a film.

A script, a novel, or a single idea becomes a complete 30-minute+ animated film — with characters you design and worlds you control. Not clips. Films.

The opportunity

Most stories never become films — they can't afford to.

A 30-minute animated episode costs a studio months and hundreds of thousands of dollars. So the world's libraries of novels, scripts, and webtoons sit dormant — too expensive to adapt. We make adaptation almost free, and turn that backlog into films.

Cost

$100k+ / episode

Only top-tier IP can justify traditional animation budgets.

Time

1–3 years

From greenlight to screen — missing every cultural window.

Talent

Scarce

Skilled animators can't scale with the demand for content.

Dormant IP

Millions of titles

Stories that are loved on the page but never reach the screen.

When adapting a story costs almost nothing, every story becomes a film.

What took a studio months and hundreds of thousands of dollars now takes an afternoon. The marginal cost of the next adaptation falls toward zero — a market measured in millions of titles, and the studio that makes them.

The thesis

What Midjourney did for images, we are doing for film.

Text-to-image is solved. Text-to-clip is solved. Long-form, directable film is the next frontier — and it's wide open.

Long-form consistency

One character. Every shot. The whole film.

The hardest problem in generative video — and the one short-clip tools never had to solve — is holding a character, a world, and a story together across thousands of frames. Our consistency engine locks identity once, then keeps it stable for the entire runtime. This is our moat.

Narrative orchestration

It reads the story, then directs it.

Drop in a full text and OpenXanAI decomposes it into acts, scenes, and shots — preserving pacing and emotional beats. The result isn't a montage of fragments. It's a film with structure, arc, and rhythm.

Creative control

You're not a spectator. You're the director.

Design and lock your own characters. Build the worlds they live in. Choose the art style and hold it across the whole film. Adjust pacing, framing, and camera shot by shot — automated where it helps, hands-on where it matters.

From idea to film

Six steps. One afternoon.

01

Understand

The story is parsed into acts, scenes, characters, and emotional beats.

02

Design

Define characters and worlds; the system locks them as reusable assets.

03

Storyboard

Shots, camera language, and composition are generated and editable.

04

Animate

Boards become moving shots with performance, consistent throughout.

05

Score

Voices, dialogue, music, and sound are generated and mixed to the arc.

06

Deliver

Everything composites into a finished film — any language, any format.

Why now

A window that's open today.

Generative video just crossed the quality bar, inference costs are collapsing, and demand for animated content keeps outrunning supply. The team that solves long-form first sets the standard.

How it scales

One engine. Four ways to grow.

01

Subscriptions

Free, Pro, and Team tiers for creators and studios.

02

Usage

Metered by minutes, episodes, and compute.

03

Enterprise & API

Batch catalog adaptation for platforms and publishers.

04

IP revenue share

Co-produce adaptations and share in their performance.

The market we're building toward

0

A 1% share of the world's stories becoming films is a multi-billion-dollar company. We're going after the whole library.

Where we are

Early, and moving fast.

A founding team building the one thing competitors can't copy overnight — long-form consistency — while the window is open.

Now

Consistency engine

Core model holding characters across full runtime.

Next

Creator Studio

Design, lock, and direct — in the browser.

Then

First films

Flagship titles that prove the format.

Scale

Studio & API

Catalog adaptation for platforms worldwide.

Figures reflect our target seed and product milestones.

Every story deserves a screen.

We're building the studio that makes them. If that mission moves you, there's a seat at the table.

We're hiring

We're looking for a co-founder.

OpenXanAI is at the very beginning. We're looking for an exceptional co-founder to build the future of long-form generative film with us — in research, engineering, or product. If the mission resonates, reach out.
