My Boyfriend is a Superhero!?

CHOOSE YOUR PROTAGONIST

My Boyfriend is a Superhero!? is the first film in the history of cinema where the audience chooses the protagonist, given the choice between two Abigails.

“When a billionaire’s secretary uncovers her boss is secretly a vigilante superhero, she is thrust into a high-stakes battle of secret identities, corporate intrigue, and an AI bent on taking control.”

The superhero romcom is also the first completely AI 3D animated feature film, with all sound, music, videos, animation and performances machine generated. To this date there have only been hybrid CG animated features with AI components; as outlined in Jackson’s New Machine Cinema doctrine, he furthers the mission of a fully machine cinema.

A demonstration of Jackson’s tenet of machine cinema theory, The True Line Cut, which posits that a film represents its artistic process on screen, including its mistakes, like “a film made in one single brushstroke”; Jackson built an experimental True Line edit which includes changing character models, as well as the main cut of the film with several minor items of True Line philosophy on screen.

The film furthers Jackson’s methodology in AI editing, becoming the first film with agentic AI editing in the production of the film, using autonomous systems to propose and place elements inside the cut. (‘DreadClub: Vampire’s Verdict,’ used LLMs to dictate paper edits.)

Reviews:

Reel Reviews: “Jackson is at the pinnacle of the AI revolution.”

JustForMovieFreaks: “Jackson’s pursuit to redefine how films are made and how viewers participate in their meaning results in a work that is imperfect but forward looking.”

Martin Carr: “Hooroo Jackson’s latest one-man effort, that cost less than the catering on an indie drama, pops with visual flourishes and mimics human emotions pushing AI forward in the process.”

TrendingLA: In exploring what AI can do for cinema, “My Boyfriend is a Superhero!?” is the ultimate wildcard—the film that dares to ask not just what if, but what now?

Film Threat: “Jackson’s inspiration for My Boyfriend is a Superhero!? was about more than advancing the medium of AI storytelling. Instead, he wanted to give audiences a meaningful choice by letting them select their protagonist.”

Mike Haberfelner: “The resulting film is just lots of fun, thanks not only to a clever and engaging story but also striking visuals and a certain no-holds-barred attitude to things.”
