TLDR: AI used to dub a Spanish Film into English
"The Witch Game," an Argentine horror film inspired by Harry Potter, has been acquired by Miracle Media for North American and U.K. distribution, that used a unique AI-generated English dub to expand its market reach.
Traditional dubbing processes are expensive, slow, and can disrupt the natural flow of dialogue, potentially affecting the film's authenticity and appeal internationally.
By employing AI for dubbing, "The Witch Game" bypasses these issues, providing an English version that maintains the film's original pacing and authenticity, thus expanding its audience without significant additional costs.
The story centers on a teenage girl named Lourdes Mansilla, who uses a VR game to enter a world of magic and witchcraft in an attempt to rescue her family from satanic forces.
