PBAG AI · Theatre & Film
From village stage to screen, with Google AI
PBAG pairs a decade of Limuru storytelling with the Google AI ecosystem — research, scripts, storyboards, previz, posters and the apps that sell the tickets. Artists direct; AI accelerates.
The toolchain
One ecosystem, every stage of production
Gemini
Brainstorm premises, beat sheets and dialogue in English, Kiswahili and Gĩkũyũ; translate and adapt for schools, radio or screen.
Google AI Studio
Test prompts, compare models and turn them into small apps — script doctors, casting assistants, audience chatbots like Ask PBAG.
Nano Banana
Gemini's image model for concept art, costume and set boards, consistent characters across frames, and poster key art.
Veo
Generate short video shots from text or images — animatics, mood reels and social teasers before the camera rolls.
Flow
Google's filmmaking workspace that brings Veo and image tools together to build, extend and sequence scenes.
Antigravity
An agentic development platform for building the digital side of a production — websites, ticketing, dashboards and AI agents.
Google Cloud
Host the box office and AI usher on Cloud Run with Firestore — fast in Kenya, scales for opening night.

Run a whole film with AI agents
A short film, from script to screening, managed on one board. Press Auto-plan and watch AI agents (Gemini, AI Studio, Nano Banana, Veo/Flow, Antigravity) break down the script, cast from PBAG auditions, schedule, budget, generate previz, subtitle in Kiswahili and Gĩkũyũ, and plan the release — with a producer approving every step.

Simulation with illustrative figures. Real productions keep a human producer in charge; for training or a pilot on your own film, contact PBAG.
Training for creatives
Hands-on bootcamps for actors, writers, directors and content creators — prompting, AI storyboarding, ethical use, and protecting your own work.
Productions & campaigns
We co-produce AI-assisted teasers, explainers and Theatre-for-Development content for NGOs, counties and brands.
Responsible by design
Consent for voices and likenesses, credit for artists, clear labelling of AI content (Google marks many generated images and videos with SynthID), and Kenya Data Protection Act compliance.
Train your team. Tell bigger stories.
