Barnes & Noble: Magic of Reading

Embed Video
Top 6: July 9th 2025
​Goodhouse Films has created a little poetic love story for books in collaboration with director Joffrey Jans to demonstrate that AI films don't need to look tacky. It's not about what technology can do - like creating spectacular explosions - but about the importance of a core idea and a storyteller behind it. This Barnes & Noble spec is a nostalgic ode to the magic of books. The two-minute film captures intimate moments of reading - scenes that feel as if shot on celluloid, evoking warmth and timelessness. As the visual unfolds, two narrators bring to life the quiet, sensual experience of losing oneself in a story, “In the quiet weight of a closed book, a universe lingers - waiting to be rediscovered, whispering softly that stories are never truly gone...” Their voices invite viewers into the gentle magic of turning pages, the scent of worn paper, and the tactile connection with stories that feel like coming home. Created with the help of AI tools, the film invites you to reflect on the magic of reading - the quiet whisper of words, the soothing glide of fingers over textured pages, and the endless journey into worlds both distant and familiar.
