The Creator
Marie de Caba is created by Val Ferren, an AI filmmaker based between New York and Barcelona.
Marie was not a fictional character.
She was a real medium who died in 1973, and the grandmother of Val’s wife.
The project began as a family investigation and became a spiritual mystery about memory, absence, and the questions the dead leave behind.
A project by Val Ferren
Val Ferren is the creator, writer, and director behind Marie de Caba.
His work explores how artificial intelligence can be used not only as a visual tool, but as a new language for memory, absence, and spiritual imagination.
Marie de Caba began as a family investigation and became something larger: a cinematic world where the dead, the archive, and the questions we still carry can meet again.
Why Marie de Caba
Marie de Caba was a real woman.
She was born in 1890, lived through a century of silence and repression, and died in 1973.
For decades, people came to her with questions about grief, spirits, illness, guilt, love, and death.
This project does not try to turn her into a legend.
It asks what remains when a voice disappears, when an archive survives, and when a family begins to listen again.
A new form of spiritual storytelling
Marie de Caba is not presented as a traditional documentary.
It is a spiritual mystery told through interviews, recovered cases, visual reconstruction, and AI-generated cinema.
The story begins with Marie.
But the questions belong to everyone:
What survives death?
Can memory become a presence?
Do the dead leave signs?
And what does it mean to listen?
The role of AI
Artificial intelligence is used in Marie de Caba as a creative and cinematic language.
It helps reconstruct atmospheres, faces, rooms, memories, visions, and impossible conversations.
AI does not replace the story.
It gives form to what could not be filmed: absence, memory, intuition, and the unseen.
