Synopsis

Luck is a poetic exploration of human existence as the ultimate form of good fortune. Beginning with a woman lamenting her bad luck over spilled coffee, the film expands outward in scale and perspective, revealing the extraordinary improbabilities that led to each individual’s existence.

Through stunning visuals and contemplative narration, Luck invites viewers to reconsider their place in the universe and recognize that their very existence represents a triumph against nearly impossible odds—the ultimate stroke of luck.

AI Integration:
Every aspect of the film was crafted through collaborative AI partnerships. The dynamic scenes were brought to life using Runway’s video generation models, based on foundational imagery created with models from Google and OpenAI. The contemplative narration was voiced through Runway’s audio technology. Throughout the creative process the Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet large language model provided assistance with script refinement.
