In the arid hills of old Persia, poor woodcutter Ali Baba stumbles upon a secret stone vault guarded by a ruthless band of thieves. When his brother Kassim's greed seals his fate inside the cursed cavern, the Captain of Thieves tracks the secret home — and hides a dozen blades inside clay oil jars in Ali Baba's own courtyard. The fate of the house rests on Morgiana, the servant whose courage turns the shadow of death into triumph.
Produced by Hicham Litefti & Moncef Bakhti Marrakchi — Saharize Studio

Frames from the film
The Craft
Every frame of a Saharize film is synthetic — and every frame is directed. Locked characters, a locked 35mm colour grade, professional voice performances and an original score: AI is our camera, our stage and our orchestra — never our author.
Scenes are designed, cast and photographed inside Google Flow, with official characters and a colour grade locked from the first frame to the last.
A fixed cast of ElevenLabs voices performs every role — George narrates, Sarah is Morgiana — recorded and measured before a single shot is animated.
Each film carries a bespoke Suno score: oud, qanun, frame drums and full strings, composed cue by cue — the dance, the cavern, the dawn.
Picture lock, lip-sync, mix and a single grain-and-grade pass deliver a 2160p master at −14 LUFS, ready for the big screen of YouTube.

The architect of the production. Moncef shapes the stories and the slate — from the first storyboard panel to the night the cavern finally opens.
