Rony Abovitz’s Sun and Thunder teases Yellow Dove — Misbeliever short film

Former Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz has started a new company called Sun and Thunder to focus on AI characters and interactive storytelling. And today he is teasing a new character with the company’s first short video dubbed Yellow Dove — Misbeliever.

We don’t often write about video entertainment. But Abovitz’s background and his interest in creating “synthetic beings” have caught my interest, and I talked to him both about his grand ambitions for years from now as well as what he’s starting to tease with the video. You may wonder what this is all about, but it is pretty intriguing. And it’s worth nothing that Abovitz created and performed the song Misbeliever in the video himself, though he credits the work to his virtual character.
