Short Film

Music has always had this inner magic: it brings memories from a very long time ago back to the present. Have you ever suddenly recalled an old memory right after hearing one specific song? That’s the nostalgic feeling that John Carpenter had when he listened to the classical concerto which his father played with the violin that night in the living room.

Primavera Sound created a series of episodes named “My Favourite Music Memory” to illustrate this sensorial experience, which included different stories from some incredible musicians who had played in the Festival. Among them, there was John Carpenter, James Rhodes, Interpol and Kiasmos. When Primavera Sound team approached us to create John Carpenter’s episode, we couldn’t feel more joyful! We didn’t only admire his music and films but also were completely moved by John Carpenter’s story.

Memories, like a cubist painting, have plenty of faces that change every time you stare at them, depending on time, distance and mood, they show up differently in front of you. In the end, the viewer’s look is everything that matters, and for that, we are so glad and thankful to John Carpenter, who has watched our film and told us how much he enjoyed it

AI

BOL’s Approach to AI

At BOL, artistry and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we create. We’re a human-led production house, guided by curiosity, care, and the belief that storytelling can expand consciousness and shape culture for the better.

AI is part of today’s creative landscape — but for us, it’s always a tool in service of human creativity, never a replacement for it. We use it thoughtfully, only when it makes sense, and always with transparency. At BOL, we see AI not as a trend, but as a transformative instrument. One that, when used responsibly, can extend the reach of human imagination. We integrate AI only where it enhances our creative process, respects human authorship, and amplifies the emotional impact of every story we tell.

We believe technology should respond to real human needs, not create them artificially. That’s why we pause to ask: What is the problem for which this technology is the solution? If the answer isn’t clear, we don’t use it. For us, critical reflection comes before execution.

Here’s what that means for our clients:

- Human first: All creative direction and final decisions rest with our directors, artists, and producers.
- Transparency: If we use AI at any stage, you’ll know about it.
- Consent: We won’t include AI-generated elements in final work without your approval.
- Ethics, Safety & Compliance: We never use AI trained on unlicensed data or in ways that put copyright or originality at risk.
- Accountability: We take full responsibility for the compliance, quality, and ownership of your final deliverables.

By setting these boundaries, we give our partners peace of mind. Working with BOL means your story is told with integrity, originality, and care — blending the possibilities of technology with the irreplaceable artistry of people.
