the last hero - A.I
A non-commercial, fan-made short film by Valentino Laz
What happens when the world no longer needs its strongest protector?
In this speculative short film, a symbolic superhero automates his life with AI — only to realise the world moves on without him. It’s a meditation on creativity, identity, and purpose in an age where even our most powerful roles can be outsourced.
Directed, trained, and styled by Valentino Laz using state-of-the-art generative tools, this project was brought to life through prompt-driven visuals, stylised motion design, and an original AI-generated soundtrack. From cloning myself to building cinematic workflows, The Last Hero is a fan-made, non-commercial, transformative parody — a love letter to creators navigating the age of automation, where even heroes must redefine their purpose.
