Every Petal

A nine-minute AI tribute film made for one family, about one life. A woman turns 75, and a chickpea rolling off the table leads her back through her own memories. Each memory lives inside a petal of a lotus: a temple in India, a wedding chosen by fate, three children and a first apartment in New York. The film was written from the family's own stories and built shot by shot, with locked character references so the same woman ages across the full runtime without becoming someone else. Colour carries the arc, shifting from the warmth of India to the greys of the early immigrant years and back again.
