Next Stop Paris was written by Stuart Acher and captures the romantic entanglement of Claire, an overly cautious planner, and Del, a free-spirited dreamer, who meet by chance on a train, and embark on a spontaneous day in Paris filled with adventure and self-discovery, igniting a whirlwind romance that forces them to confront whether their unexpected connection is the work of destiny, or a sign of something greater at play.
Next Stop Paris is the creative culmination of an eight month production cycle developing realistic romantic human characters who express genuine emotion, and crafting entertainment that match traditional moviemaking under the direction of a seasoned director. Based on rapidly changing technology, the TCL Studio goals were ambitious. The hybrid live action and AI extended short, which runs at 12 minutes, is a testament to the groundbreaking work of the skilled creative teams as they navigated advanced AI tools along with traditional filmmaking techniques to elevate the Next Stop Paris storyline and backdrops.
