A film previewed before it exists: David Gidali uses generative AI to prove out the look and tonality of a dark comedy about the 1518 Strasbourg dancing plague — a feature he is developing to direct.
In July of 1518, a woman stepped into a street in Strasbourg and began to dance. Within a month, hundreds had joined her. Some of them danced until they died. No one has ever satisfactorily explained why.
THE DANCING PLAGUE is a GenViz — an AI-generated pitch-viz offering a taste of the style and tonality David Gidali is planning for a dark comedy with horror undertones, which he is developing to direct. It is not a short film. It is the look of a film that does not exist yet, made real enough to pitch.
Directed by David Gidali. Produced in Spielboard, Gidali's own generative production tool.
