Babiru is a groundbreaking action film concept created by filmmaker Nguyen-Anh Nguyen using Unreal Engine. Set in a megalopolis inhabited solely by AI, the film’s narrative unfolds after humanity has vanished, initiating a conflict triggered by two delivery AI discovering an artefact. After initially pitching the idea as a live-action film, Nguyen’s team pivoted to utilizing real-time engines for production due to the project's scale. Funding from the Epic MegaGrant played a crucial role in realizing their vision, especially during the challenges presented by the pandemic, making this ambitious project feasible.
"Without the Epic MegaGrant, the project might never have existed, or maybe it would've been a very different project, made years down the line with fewer resources and less ambition."
"When humanity is gone and the machines are left alone, the remaining AI continue to play out their final programming conceived by their long-dead human masters."
