Role: Direction, Concept & Editing

Runway GEN:48 is a 48-hour AI filmmaking challenge. For the Aleph Edition, more than 3000 films were submitted and 32 reached the finals. Kartikye's film ∞ won the People's Choice award.

∞ was made with Runway's video models in 48 hours. The goal was a cohesive narrative that keeps returning to the film's cyclical themes, where the structure of the story mirrors its idea.

Kartikye wrote the concept, directed and edited the film. It is the clearest proof of his approach: story and editing first, generative tools in service of the film.
