Joseph's midnight party

Joseph’s Midnight Party is an AI-generated experimental film that follows a young man, Joseph, through a fragmented summer journey shaped by physical pain, chemical dependency, and an obsessive desire to escape his own life structure. Lost between waking and dreaming, Joseph navigates a reality where media symbols, bodily decay, and subconscious hallucination blur into one unstable continuum.

Rooted in existentialist reflection, the film captures aspects of the millennial condition—emotional detachment, overstimulation, and disoriented desire—through a torrent of visual signifiers. Political campaigns, beauty pageants, conspiracy theories, pornographic fragments, video games, and advertising images emerge as hallucinatory intrusions, building a sensory critique of the media-saturated unconscious.

The film exists in two distinct versions: the original “Nightmare” version preserves its raw, glitch-heavy texture; the reworked “Daydream” version was largely reconstructed using Sora, with remaining sequences recreated through Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, and Runway workflows.

Stylistically, the film blends narrative decay, cult aesthetics, mythic allegory, and social criticism—creating a fractured, hypnotic apparatus that mirrors the collapsing boundary between dream and reality.
