🎞 E2 for Filmmakers
Make your
first film.
This is everything E2 gives filmmakers, all in one place: a working film studio, a cast of characters with real character sheets, an AI pipeline that turns scripts into finished films, Sam our free AI on your crew, a premiere audience that actually shows up, and the films below to prove it all works. Press play.

Made here. Watch them big.
Every film below was written, produced, and shipped by the E2 and Studio crew, most of them with AI video tools and a small team that met in this community.
E2 Home
The film that lives on the E2 homepage. A whole world in under a minute: the town, the cast, and the invitation. If you have seen one E2 film, it is this one.
The E2 Film
Our flagship short: the story of a kinder corner of the internet, told with the full Studio cast. Written, generated, voiced, and edited by the team you will meet in the Discord.
Sally: The E2 Story
Sally tells the E2 story herself. Character first filmmaking: one beloved character, her real character sheet in every shot, and a story simple enough for anyone to retell.
Plume Takes Flight
Fifteen seconds that taught us how to fly a character across a real scene: generated green screen flight, composited over the world, no shortcuts. The technique is written up in our playbook for members.
Sally, vertical
Made for phones first: one character, one idea, nine by sixteen. Vertical is where new viewers meet the cast.
Welcome to E2
The welcome film every new member sees. Two minutes that explain the whole town: who is here, what we make, and how to start.
Dumb Ideas, Episode 1
Our video podcast where bad ideas get a fair hearing and sometimes become real projects. New episodes are produced with the same pipeline as the films.

Free AI, on your crew
Sam helps you finish the film.

Your premiere audience: hundreds of members who show up for new films
How a film gets made here
From idea to premiere, in the open
The same pipeline made every film on this page. It is not a secret, it is a conveyor, and there is room on it for yours.
Pitch it in Your First Film
Post your idea in the film channel. One paragraph is enough. The crew reacts, Sam helps you shape it into a script.
Script and storyboard
Scenes, timing, and music notes, written down before anything is generated. Our desks keep the shooting scripts public.
Generate with the sheets
Clips are generated with the real character sheets as references, so Sally looks like Sally in every single shot.
Edit like broadcast
Voice first, loud and clear, then music under it. Our editors check every face frame before a film ships.
Premiere in town
Your film lands on your free site, the Videos page, and the Feed, with a premiere post the whole town sees.
Level up
Finished films go on your passport. Good ones get bounties, a Best Videos slot, and a shot at Studio work.
Start today
