Set the scene.
A detective in a rain-dark coat enters an empty hotel lobby. Warm lamplight, a still camera. A sealed letter waits on the desk.
What is interactive series?
The door opens. Someone is waiting. What happens next is yours to write.
An interactive series is a story shaped by the person taking part. In this theater, that means writing the next moment yourself: an action, a line of dialogue, a reveal. Each message becomes a short AI video, and the next message gives the story somewhere to go.
Start with a few words or an image. Put a character in a place, give them something to do, and press Say. Watch the scene before writing the next beat. The current format is a five-second, 768P landscape clip, so one clear action usually works better than a whole chapter squeezed into a message.
As you continue, the last frame of the previous video helps guide the next shot. Recent story context helps carry the characters, setting and visual style forward. Want to leave the room, jump to morning or change the mood? Say so in your next line.
Use it to sketch a mystery, work through a character moment or see how a scene might look in motion. You can also switch channels to follow another story. This is a place to explore a sequence as it unfolds; character details can drift. Open Clips to choose your scenes, arrange a reel, trim its length and share the finished video.
Have an opening in mind? Return to the theater and give it one small, visible action.
The next line changes the scene
A locked room.
A story to follow.
Try these writing examples in order, or borrow a beat for your own story.
Give it a small turn.
She reaches for the letter. From behind the locked door, someone quietly says her name. Keep the same warm light and still camera.
Take the story elsewhere.
Cut to the same detective on the harbor steps at sunrise. She opens the letter as a ferry pulls away into the mist.
Choosing a line places it in the message field. Edit it, then press Say when you are ready.
Keep the thread
The last frame is
a place to begin.
A scene should feel connected to the one before it. Here is what carries forward, and what you can change.
Keep what matters in the frame.
Continue from the completed clip, keep the same channel and describe one action. A short reminder such as “same coat, same room, same warm light” gives the next scene a clearer direction.
Add an image when you have a particular look in mind. For an opening, it guides the first scene. When you are continuing, a new image can guide where that scene ends.
Leave room for a second take.
Visual continuity is guided, not exact. Faces, props and lighting can change between generations. Complex action, a crowd of characters or several location changes in one message are harder to control.
Short scenes are useful for exploring a mood or a story idea. Use Clips to select and reorder scenes, trim a moment and render a shareable video. More complex edits and exact continuity may still need additional editing.

Before your next scene
A few good questions.
What is an interactive series?
An interactive series is a story that develops through your participation. Here, you describe the next action or add an image, and AI turns it into a short video. You steer the story one scene at a time.
Can I start with an image?
Yes. Use the image button beside the message field, paste an image, or drag it into the composer. JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB are supported. You can start with an image alone or add a line describing what should happen.
Will the next video keep the same characters and style?
The next scene uses the previous clip’s final frame and recent story context to help carry the look forward. This guides continuity, but faces, clothing, objects or lighting may still change. Keeping each action small makes the result easier to steer.
How do I move the story somewhere new?
Say the change directly, such as “Cut to the same detective on the harbor steps at sunrise.” You can also add a new reference image. With a previous scene, that image guides the next scene’s ending while the previous frame anchors its start.
Does it make a complete episode in one go?
Each request currently creates a five-second, 768P landscape video. Build the sequence through separate requests. Open Clips to arrange the scenes, trim the reel and render a shareable video. The theater does not maintain a map of alternate story branches.
Can I watch or write in a different channel?
Choose a channel in the sidebar to switch stories. Pitch a channel to create another place for a story. Messages you send, generated clips and story context are shared with everyone in that channel. Each channel has its own conversation.
