Why this film matters
ONE sets a large premise—Earth’s collapse, a voyage along Voyager 1’s path, a planet of souls who want bodies back—inside a six-minute animated short. The filmmaking problem is economy: establishing a world, a crew and a reversal of what being human is worth without the time to explain them.
Runway’s 2025 AI Festival awarded ONE Silver, its third-ranked prize, and hosts the complete film on its channel.
