The Cursed Company is an AI-native Brazilian creative production studio.

An original Cursed Company reel featuring a monster in a creative studio. Character performance, comic timing, magical visual effects and a direct-to-camera monologue explain the studio’s artist-led, end-to-end AI filmmaking approach.
Year: 2026 · Category: Reel
Purpose
Introduce Cursed’s identity and method through a character film that also demonstrates its own AI audiovisual production.
Visual description
A monster with spiky red hair, textured skin, tattoos, piercings and uneven teeth speaks directly to camera. He wears dark clothes with red details in a studio containing a keyboard, editing monitors, purple lights and the Cursed flag. Caricatured proportions are combined with detailed materials, skin, hair and accessories.
The edit alternates medium shots, close-ups and extreme close-ups. Irritation, sarcasm and enthusiasm accompany a monologue about repetitive AI imagery. The line about hitting a keyboard with his head is illustrated by the corresponding physical action; lighting changes and closer framing heighten the comedy and supernatural setting.
Inserts show an automaton carrying the Cursed identity, a coin and another character manipulating fire. At the end, three characters appear together in the studio, creating golden, purple and orange energy circles and beams. The red Cursed Company signature closes the film. The subtitled version emphasizes words from the monologue as they are spoken.
Narrative sequence
The character expresses frustration with generic images in front of the studio equipment.
Dark lighting and close-ups accompany the phrase about the curse of the dead internet.
The monologue introduces Cursed and lists direction, editing, effects and acting, intercut with characters and objects.
A trio conjures energy effects in the studio before the company signature.

[00:01] I can’t stand this damned big doll every day. AI without direction is garbage. Just slam your head into the keyboard
[00:12] and here comes another disaster that looks like Pixar again. It’s the curse of the dead internet. While everything starts looking the same, some wizards refuse to accept it.
[00:27] Us. At Cursed, we enchant these machines with good taste, creative direction, well-crafted editing, visual effects, acting and stories made for people who have a soul too.
[00:41] We execute everything from end to end, from the script to post-production, and deliver at an insane speed. And now, every time this thing appears on your screen, you’ll remember

A cinematic brand film for EQT, produced by Cursed with João Beraldo. Photorealistic coastal, architectural, domestic and space imagery explores AI, creativity and the frontiers of human possibility.
Year: 2026 · Category: Brand film
Purpose
Present EQT’s portfolio companies as frontier labs, connecting technology and imagination in a narrative about what lies beyond current limits.
Visual description
The film opens on a beach under an overcast sky, with a man running near the water. Realistic-looking photography uses natural light, restrained colors and shots that alternate the scale of the landscape with proximity to his face. The runner establishes a sense of progress that returns at the end.
A young person wearing headphones works at a computer in a concrete space. He then appears small against a monumental wall and touches its surface. A lighthouse drawing and a coastal lighthouse connect representation with an imagined world. Elsewhere, a humanoid robot stands beside a person; a close-up of its hand on a shoulder gives visual form to the question of machines and humanity.
An isolated house in a rocky, extraterrestrial-looking landscape is linked to a man looking through a window. The film returns to the runner, then follows an astronaut across the lunar surface. The question ‘what lies beyond’ appears over a dark visor; the EQT identity closes the sequence on lunar ground.
Narrative sequence
The beach and runner introduce the question of what lies beyond.
A computer, monumental architecture and a hand touching a wall represent limits and creativity.
A lighthouse, robot and domestic setting develop the relationship between imagination, technology and humanity.
An extraterrestrial landscape and astronaut extend the theme to space exploration and the EQT signature.

Purpose
Explain Templ through a character narrative, from the difficulty of launching a token to chat, treasury, governance and community decisions.
Visual description
Under an intense green sky, amphibian characters move stones and build a pyramid. A green-skinned narrator with gray hair and blue clothing reads a scroll. Bold outlines, exaggerated expressions and a setting mixing adventure, ruins and game references establish the visual language.
A purple one-eyed character appears wearing a golden ornament as the narration introduces launchpads. Coins and golden containers fill the temple interior. Spiral-eyed characters and a rush for treasure turn the pump-and-dump sequence into comedy. The narrator reacts to the group’s behavior.
The story moves to a game-like interface and characters gathering in the temple, including a woman in a blue dress and a man in adventurer clothing. The discussion of paid chat, treasury, governance and multisig accompanies the shift from individual competition to community. Green end cards show Templ, templ.fun, networks mentioned in the film and an invitation to create a chat coin.

A character-driven recruitment film for Lemonade. A tavern pirate complains about tireless robot sailors before the story turns into an invitation to join the crew. Cursed reports a one-day script-to-post-production turnaround.
Year: 2026 · Category: Brand film
Purpose
Communicate recruitment for Lemonade through a metaphor of crews and new seas, following the brief presented in Cursed’s deck.
Visual description
A pirate with a curly beard, eyepatch, bandana and blue coat sits in a wooden tavern. He holds a mug beside a candle in warm lighting. The character speaks to camera as the edit alternates face details and wider views of the table.
His counterpart is a metal robot pirate, first introduced in a box and later working on a ship’s deck. The robot wears a coat similar to the sailors’ and carries a mop in daytime and nighttime scenes. Other human figures and a detail of ropes tied to the mast accompany the narrator’s complaint about trusting a pirate who rusts.
The conversation turns to crews seeking new members. The robot appears with a spyglass beside a blue Lemonade flag. The sequence closes with the logo, lemonade.gg/careers and ‘JOIN THE CREW’. Caricatured proportions, detailed surfaces and volumetric settings give the film a three-dimensional animation look.
Narrative sequence
A tavern pirate introduces the difficulty of the times.
A robot sailor contrasts humans with tireless machines.

An animated film for the Trueo + Yearn partnership, produced by Cursed and Templ Studio. A café scene expands into robot support, electric-car traffic and an alien press conference to explain prediction markets through comedy.
Year: 2026 · Category: Brand film
Purpose
Introduce the partnership between Trueo and Yearn through a humorous narrative explanation of the product.
Visual description
The film introduces a colorful city and a thin man with spiky black hair and an orange hoodie sitting in a café. A question mark appears above his cup. On his phone, ‘YES’ and ‘NO’ buttons visualize the choice between two outcomes described by the narration.
Three vignettes develop questions about the future. Robots occupy a customer support office; an angry human driver is surrounded by small cars with robot drivers; and a press room stages an extraterrestrial revelation. A fictional newspaper adds an absurd headline to the sequence’s humor.
The story returns to the café as a robot and an alien walk down the street. The ending connects the wait for markets to resolve with the yield message presented by the film. Blue end cards bring together Trueo and Yearn, their addresses, ‘TRADE THE FUTURE’ and ‘EARN WHILE IT UNFOLDS’. Dark outlines and vivid colors support recurring characters, urban settings and exaggerated expressions.
Narrative sequence
The café, cup and phone introduce the idea of predicting events.

An AI microseries pilot for G4 Business. A fictional interview with Julius Caesar combines a present-day interviewer, a Roman tent and cinematic military flashbacks to discuss leadership and responsibility.
Year: 2026 · Category: Micro series / Pilot
Purpose
Demonstrate a microseries format that turns a leadership lesson into a dramatized interview with a historical figure.
Visual description
An interviewer wearing glasses, a white shirt and a blue jacket speaks with a character portrayed as Julius Caesar. A question about the Rubicon introduces a first-person answer. The conversation takes place at a table with parchment and flame lighting inside a Roman tent.
The film intercuts the interview with soldiers standing in rain, spears, armor, footsteps and a river crossing. Cool, dark military shots contrast with the warm conversation lighting. Close-ups and gestures accompany the character’s reflection on carrying the fate of the men who followed him.
The ending returns to the interview and emphasizes responsibility for a leader’s followers. Cards identify ‘AI MICRO SERIES’, ‘ONE ON ONE’, ‘PILOT EPISODE’ and ‘JÚLIO CÉSAR’, alongside G4. Another card announces a first season and new Tuesday episodes. These are statements within the pilot, not confirmation of a current publishing schedule. The speech is dramatized, not a historical transcript of Julius Caesar.
Narrative sequence
The interviewer asks what lesson Caesar learned from the Rubicon.
Rainy military shots represent a decision affecting an entire army.
The tent interview develops the reflection on courage, loss and responsibility.
The microseries identity and pilot episode card close the film.
