Higgsfield fully open-sources prompts for 20-minute AI drama 'ONEIRIC'

What stands out is that the company didn't just drop the finished piece. Higgsfield also published every prompt and asset used to make ONEIRIC via a separate link. This means anyone can recreate or remix scenes using the same source material. The release is tied to the 'Higgsfield Global Film Festival,' reportedly carrying a $1 million prize pool, and appears to function both as a festival entry and a demonstration piece meant to encourage participation.

Higgsfield's recent moves and related reading

This release isn't an isolated event. On August 11, Higgsfield released a 110-minute feature film with a live-action cast, 'The Cully Hill Boys,' made on a $2 million production budget. That project used the video generation model Seedance, and its prompts and assets were also fully released. Then on August 12, the company published prompts for a new installment of its K-pop action series 'Zephyr,' and on the same day launched 'Layers,' a tool that automatically decomposes poster images into headline, graphic badge, and character layers.

In a short span, Higgsfield has rolled out a feature film, a series, an editing tool, and now this short drama. The recurring pattern of publishing the full production process alongside each finished work suggests a strategy of both proving out its tools' capabilities and drawing users into learning its prompt workflows.

The Cully Hill Boys	Feature (live-action cast)	110 min	Seedance	2026-08-11
Zephyr: Special	K-pop action series	Unknown	Unknown	2026-08-12

How to try it

Higgsfield posted a separate link alongside its tweet containing the full set of prompts and assets used for ONEIRIC. The access process breaks down as follows:

1. Visiting the link shared by Higgsfield's account lets you view the list of prompts and asset files used to produce ONEIRIC.
2. You can input these prompts as-is, or modify parts of the wording, to recreate or remix scenes in Cinema Studio 4.
3. The resulting output can reportedly then be submitted as an entry to the Higgsfield Global Film Festival.

However, this announcement does not clarify festival eligibility requirements, usage terms across different pricing tiers, or the specific feature scope of Cinema Studio 4.

What you can try

General users can pick a single completed scene from ONEIRIC and follow its prompt exactly as written. For example, one could tweak the prompt for a particular character close-up shot bit by bit to swap in their own character. Content creators may find it useful to study how the 20-minute drama's structure is broken down at the prompt level, and apply that breakdown to their own short-form or mid-length projects.

So what changes

The trend of AI films going beyond releasing the finished product to also releasing the production materials is solidifying. When prompts and assets are released together, later creators can start from proven materials to remix rather than designing prompts from scratch — lowering the barrier to entry. At the same time, as more platforms follow Higgsfield's model of running an in-house tool alongside a festival, the benchmark for what quality of video can be produced with which tool is likely to keep being reset.
