The source material
Anatolian folklore and Sufi mythology provide a cast and a moral grammar that already deal in balance, stewardship and consequence.
Original screenplayWorkstream 05 / Creative AI
The transition needs
a story worth telling.
We build AI-assisted production tools for creative work, and use them on Green Hand: a feature rooted in Anatolian folklore and Sufi mythology, carrying climate narratives to audiences that research papers and policy briefings never reach.
Start a conversationWhy creative work
sits here.
Evidence changes decisions. Stories change what people are willing to decide about. The climate transition has no shortage of the first and a serious shortage of the second.
Creative AI is OCTD’s fifth workstream: a deliberate attempt to work on climate culture rather than only climate policy. It draws on the same research base as the rest of our work, and on an AI-assisted production methodology that puts work of this ambition within reach of an independent team.
The work runs through a separate production entity, with grant funding, production services and licensing as its routes to revenue.
Green Hand
Folklore, carrying
a modern warning.
A culturally rooted narrative rather than an issue film — the climate stakes are carried by the story, not bolted onto it.
The method
An AI-assisted animation pipeline developed to bring feature-quality production within reach of an independent team.
Production methodologyThe first output
A five-minute trailer completed in October 2026, establishing the visual language and the tone of the feature.
Trailer completeWhere it stands
Early, and
deliberately so.
Creative AI is the youngest of our five workstreams. The trailer exists; the feature does not yet. What we are building now is the production partnerships, co-financing and distribution conversations that a feature requires.
If you work in production, co-financing, broadcast or distribution — or you fund climate communication and cultural work — this is the right moment to talk.
Discuss the projectWhat we are looking for
Partners, not
an audience yet.
Production partners and studios with feature experience.
Co-financing and grant routes for cultural and climate communication work.
Distribution and broadcast partners in the UK, Europe and Türkiye.
Brands and institutions for whom climate storytelling is a serious objective rather than a campaign line.
