Hollywood no longer holds the keys to cinematic power — and Higgsfield AI just proved it.


In this episode of Film & TV Career Survival, we explore how a browser-based platform is redefining what it means to be a filmmaker.


Built by former Snap AI lead Alex Mashrabov, Higgsfield gives creators the ability to generate studio-quality scenes using only text prompts — no crews, no cameras, no backlot.


With over 11 million users and $50M in funding, Higgsfield isn’t a gimmick — it’s a creative uprising.
