CinemaLab is a New York film studio that turns real stories into cinematic films. With nearly 20 years of filmmaking experience, we create original documentary films that serve as a family legacy or as a brand film for a business, along with short films for weddings and celebrations. Every film combines award-winning artistry with the latest AI technology.
Our team of award-winning filmmakers listens first. We draw out the memories, people and moments that shaped a life, and turn them into a film with real cinematic language: structure, emotion, sound and image.
Where no footage exists, we use AI to bring it back: a childhood street, a first meeting, a loved one who is gone. Every film can be realistic or animated, in any genre, with or without filmed interviews. The result is a film your family will watch for generations.
At CinemaLab, we make three kinds of personal films: Life Films that preserve a person's story, Wedding Films that premiere at the reception, and Main Role films where you become the hero of your own story. Every film is custom made, from the first conversation to the final screening.
It all starts with a conversation. We listen to your memories, gather photos and home videos, and agree on the story and the visual style, from realistic drama to animation. Our screenwriters shape it into a script. Then our team brings it to life with AI-generated scenes, voice-over and, if you wish, filmed interviews. Finally, we refine every detail in post-production and deliver a polished, cinematic film, ready to screen at your event or share with your family.
Filmmaking is in our DNA. Our work has been featured at the biggest film festivals in the world, including the Sundance Film Festival, AFI Fest and the Cannes Film Festival.
Our team comes from the film and television industry. We combine that experience with the newest AI tools, so even moments no camera captured can appear on screen. We take on a limited number of films each year, so every story gets our full attention.
