Mini challenge for the weekend, and I promise it's harder than it sounds. Show us one frame from your film with no faces in it. Just an object. A dented helmet on a wet floor. A phone with nine missed calls. A single boot left behind on a rooftop. The frame has one job: tell us what happened without a single actor's help. Then, in one line underneath, tell us what we're looking at. Not the plot. Just the moment. Here's why I'm asking. Faces carry a lot of weight in AI films, and sometimes they're carrying it because the rest of the frame isn't. An object can't emote, can't do a dramatic squint, can't stare meaningfully into the rain. It just sits there being evidence. If it still makes us feel something, you've directed it. Bonus respect for anyone who finds the story in something boring. A kettle. A parking ticket. A lone shoelace. The blander the object, the braver the director. I'll go first in the comments once a few of you are brave enough to post. Mine is a coffee cup, and yes, it has been through things.
