About Cătălin Pădurețu
Cătălin Pădurețu is the filmmaker behind The Estate Sale, a short he made entirely on his own as Bear Atelier.
His Higgsfield profile line, in his own words: “Obsessively crafting visual stories, vomited by the human mind and force-fed into the algorithm.”

How It Was Made
The Estate Sale began in Midjourney and was finished on Higgsfield — the initial characters and mood were created in Midjourney with style references, and all final images and video were generated on Higgsfield, on a Nano Banana Pro-led stack:
All of the film’s audio was AI-generated; the edit, grade and subtitles were done in traditional non-AI tools.
Featured Work
An auctioneer sells a departed collector’s macabre curiosities to well-dressed bidders — but the final lot, number 369, never listed in the catalog, turns out to be not objects but beings. A film about worth, and about who the world calls monstrous; the creator frames it as “a thank-you note to the great Guillermo” (del Toro).

The Estate Sale itself screens on Higgsfield — the Watch button is on the Featured Work card above.
