Intoxicated Rain

Along the Western shores of Lake Michigan, just north of Milwaukee, lies the small town of Port Washington, Wisconsin where two old fishermen recover the curious isolated remains of a human face.
Jaden Sobczak, a young man in his early 20’s of mixed African-American and Caucasian descent, has moved back in with his grandparents Ron and Liz Sobczak in Port Washington after becoming increasingly distanced from his mother Stacy, Ron and Liz’s daughter, whose struggles with drug addiction and unhealed trauma have left her bitter and unstable.
Having attended school in this small town, Jaden is all too familiar with a climate of racial ignorance ranging from a racial slur being written on his locker to ongoing encounters, including a young woman who works with him at a local restaurant who expresses romantic interest in him then clumsily points out that she likes that he is black but that he doesn't "act" black, not understanding that Jaden finds this infuriating and insulting.
Jaden, Ron, and Liz manage their feelings of fear and hopelessness in their own avoidant ways. Ron retires to his basement to drink alone while Liz hosts friends for game nights, keeping up appearances. Jaden keeps busy outside their home, working a kitchen job while attempting to figure out how he fits into small town life and the bigger world. Along the way he encounters the bully from his school days, another schoolmate who has become a clown of a police officer and a former teacher who recalls a tone-deaf instance of race reversal. A point of redemption is the kinship he finds in a moped gang called “The Cranks.”
Jaden experiences flashbacks of pivotal encounters and visions of a black cat while growing more confident in who he is and how he interacts with others in his life.
Liz sends Jaden to visit his mom Stacy in Milwaukee under the guise of having him take Ron’s cracked boat propeller to Stacy’s neighbor Glover, a.k.a. Tin Man, who runs a cash-only welding business out of his garage. While there, Jaden has a cold, heated exchange with his mom Stacy but also encounters her neighbor Hazel, a young African-American woman who he has feelings for. Hazel had been living with her grandmother who recently passed away and is in the process of moving out without knowing where she’s moving to.
As Jaden finds an emergence of self-awareness, his relationships with those around him tilt toward the direction of healing and forgiveness, all while the mystery of the disembodied face in the lake persists. We see how the courage of one person to shed outwardly defensive layers can inspire paradigm shifts in the positive interconnectedness of those around him.

Railbound

Railbound is a poetic film built directly from the photographs of the prolific American photographer, Mike Brodie. The film pushes the boundaries of generative AI, indistinguishable from live action footage. Told through the reflective voice of a father chasing the memory of motion — a youth spent riding the rails, living between places, before the world ever decided who he was.
The project was created during the inaugural Google Labs Generative AI Program (Flow Sessions) — a six-week experimental filmmaking residency that brought together a highly selective group of ten international artists to explore new narrative forms using Flow, Google’s generative video model. In Railbound, the film required an entirely different production pipeline: one where still photographs served as the source of performance, movement, and emotional pacing. The result is a hybrid form that sits apart from typical generative AI work — closer to memory than simulation.
Mike Brodie is widely considered America’s most iconic train-hopping photographer. In his early twenties, he rode freight trains across the United States, creating a body of work that has been exhibited at SFMOMA, the Berkeley Museum of Art, and has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and American PHOTO. His photobooks, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, Tones of Dirt and Bone, and Failing have become seminal documents of contemporary American photography, widely recognized for their raw intimacy and lived perspective. “Like many mediums before us, photography as an art form is dying. If this project can keep the spirit of my photos alive, through the ages, then so be it,” says Brodie.
Visual direction and AI work were driven by Alex Naghavi, an award-winning AI filmmaker and creative director working at the forefront of cinema, design, and generative tools. Naghavi was selected for the first Google Labs’ Flow Sessions cohort, where Railbound’s hybrid production approach was developed. “The responsibility was to honor these iconic images in a way that did justice to the original material — to bring life and soul to the frames, enough to make you wonder whether the moment was ever still at all,” says Naghavi.
