This technical report presents ideas for a system allowing a user to interac- tively and automatically generate full length movies. According to a set of user requirements, the system seeks a satisfying set of events that together build a story. The planner included in the system is based on a layered architecture that is able to handle the transition from story-scale and narrative goals, down to more concrete actions. Then, a rendering module takes care of the actual graphical creation of the movie. We first present our views on the system requirements and provide a model of its architecture. Our demonstration is backed up by a literature review on auto- mated storytelling and rendering. We then analyse the strengths and weaknesses of existing work and show that further efforts are needed in order to address the full system requirements.
