“We’re building a platform for cutting edge creatives to showcase their talent and creativity using next generation AI tools, for them to connect with audiences and collaborators. At the same time we’re providing audiences a carefully curated AI film experience, plus a chance to learn about the tools and processes that go into these works.

The future of stories and the creative process are inextricably intertwined with technology, not as a replacement for traditional forms, but as an evolution of the tools we use to express ourselves. This interplay between culture and code is where you discover innovation, powerful new ways to tell stories, and the sort of groundbreaking talent that emerges when new possibilities are presented”
