Cinematic Book Studio

Watch your novel come alive

You direct it. Your words and rights stay yours.

The Studio

Everything your story needs to become a film

01Story Analysis

Meet your characters

We bring your characters to life on screen: every trait, outfit, and location. You review and refine each one until it matches what you pictured. Your story stays exactly as you wrote it.

02Storyboards

Cinematic storyboards

Every scene becomes a sequence of shots you can see, reorder, and redirect. Nothing is produced until you have approved how it looks.

03Production

Your book, on screen

Your approved storyboards become professional cinematic video, scene by scene. Your story, the way you pictured it.

04Ambient Books

Read & watch in-app

Publish your eBook in the Ambient Books app with its video series running alongside it. Readers read a chapter, then watch it. You keep your rights and earn from every book sale.

Good to Know

Questions authors ask

You do, 100%. There is no exclusivity clause: you grant us a non-exclusive license to create the visual episodes, and you can keep selling your eBook anywhere else. Nothing about working with us transfers your rights.

No. The words stay yours. Real human actors perform most lines of dialogue, AI produces the character visuals and environments around them, and human video editors assemble each episode and choose the music to keep the result true to your story.

$75 per 1 to 3 minute episode, starting with a 10 episode package (planning your full series is a one-time cost on our side). Your first episode's storyboard is free, so you can see the style on your own pages before you pay anything, and you can add episodes later at the same rate.

You publish your eBook in the Ambient Books app and earn 75% of every sale. The cinematic video series runs alongside your book to draw readers in, and our EDR Lab certified eReader protects your book from unauthorized downloads.

No. Those charge large upfront fees and then go quiet. With us, you see a free sample scene's storyboard from your own book first, you direct the work, you keep all your rights, and you are backed by a money-back guarantee.

You get your money back. We would rather you be sure than stuck.
