NO TE OLVIDES
In this stunning new musical from writer Nerris Nevarez-Nassiri, and producers Tony Estrada and Kristina Rivera, a fun-loving abuela (Elena) knows her time is running out and feels called to return to her hometown, La Noria, to visit her late husband's grave one last time.
Against her daughter Celestina's wishes, she takes flight in the middle of the night, taking her granddaughter, Maria, with her.
What follows is a beautiful story of discovering family roots, finding one's passion, and drinking way too much tequila. All while singing and dancing, naturally.
WHAT WE DID
WORLD BUILDING
Based on the heartfelt screenplay and pitch deck, we got to work creating the characters, locations, and props that would bring this vibrant and textured world to life.
Working closely with the production team through several rounds of revisions, we developed our cornerstone content that would guide us throughout the entire project.
PRODUCTION STILLS
Before going into AI film production mode, we needed a detailed roadmap. Over 150 production stills later, we felt pretty good about the path ahead.
Watching key moments from the screenplay come to life reminded us of why we do what we do. From words on a page, to high resolution images. Pure creativity.
FULLY AI-PRODUCED TRAILER
When you think of AI film production, you might be tempted to think of futuristic sci-fi. You probably wouldn't think of a modern musical with elements of magical realism. And yet...
We're exceptionally proud of this proof-of-concept, showcasing this incredible story (and just how far generative AI has come).
SCREENPLAY REVIEWS
Of course we couldn't showcase our trailer without honoring the exceptional work of No Te Olvides screenwriter, Nerris Nevarez-Nassiri.
JON SPURLING — Writer-Director at ZeroShot Studios
"This project perfectly encapsulates why I founded ZeroShot Studios. We no longer live in a world where words on a page and a pitch deck loaded with stock images are the only tools at the creator's disposal when it comes to turning your dream into a fully-produced reality. Any vision is hard to communicate with words alone, but a musical set in Mexico?? That's a tough sell. Bringing these beautiful and layered characters and locations to life was an absolute joy. This film needs to get made and we're honored to have played a part in that journey."
