The Arc is a five-episode series, approximately 83 minutes overall, available on Artlist TV. The watch link opens Among the Condemned, Episode 1; its current player runs 19:49, while the catalogue rounds it to 20 minutes. Other episodes have different lengths.
Why it matters
Isaac Ward’s attempt to save his son ties historical combat environments to a continuing moral bargain. The filmmaking question is whether one emotional thread survives changes of period, geography and action scale. This is a serial narrative to examine, not simply a montage of expensive-looking locations.
Artlist records a private London premiere on August 18, after production from April to August. The making-of describes moodboards and period references, plus a practical audio fix: exporting one scene at a time when accents became inconsistent. Its commercial backing is part of the production context.
In the AI Creator Day discussion, the filmmakers describe splitting scripts into parallel page blocks from Episode 3. A first-episode turnaround of three and a half weeks should not be mistaken for the entire series schedule. The event account’s $15,000 Seedance-credit figure and the later interview’s broader $38,000 credit figure have different stated scopes; neither is a verified all-in budget.
Original release, available playback and production accounts checked; no complete critical viewing is claimed. Exact video-model versions and a full crew list remain undisclosed.
