HELL GRIND
Higgsfield Studio
ROKO, JAXX, LULU and REIN — four street kids with nothing to lose. One day, one museum, one plan — until it all falls apart when, right in the exhibition hall, they find an artifact with no name and no history. One touch — and each receives a power they never asked for, awakening something that was never meant to wake. Now they must face the ancient evil head-on — even if the road leads straight to hell.
Key scenes broken down in a long-form video on our official YouTube channel — see how the film was made.
