Jill's Tastyland
200 Mile Race of Legends
One of four looping films for the 1950s drive-in mural at Jill's Tastyland: a 200-mile race, from archival footage and AI clips.
The project
Jill’s Tastyland in Monroeville has a 1950s drive-in mural with a projector aimed at it, and it needed content to play on that wall. We made four films for it. This is 200 Mile Race of Legends; the others are Around the World in 80 Days · Attack of the Killer Bees · Invasion of the Galactic Burgers.
What we did
We curated public-domain archival footage and generated custom AI clips, then cut four films of about four minutes each into a seamless loop. Between the films we designed motion-graphics menus, the way an old drive-in would run its intermissions, and we delivered projection-ready files.
Each usable AI shot takes many generations. The edit, color, sound and motion graphics are what turn those clips into a film.
How it’s used
The films are running now on the drive-in mural at Jill’s Tastyland.
Why it works
A projected mural is part of the room, not a TV in the corner. Looping films built for the space keep the 1950s drive-in feel going all day, and mixing real archival footage with custom AI shots let us make exactly the scenes the theme called for, at a budget that works for a local business.
Need an AI film like this?
Stories too big for a real-world budget, made with AI and finished by filmmakers. We write and direct it like any other film, then edit, color, mix and animate it by hand so it feels intentional, not generated. More than 1,000 AI images and 550 AI clips in, we know where it shines and where a camera still wins.
