The MetaMorph AI Film Award team interviewed some of this year's finalists and winners. In my interview about my AI concept trailer "Copernicus", I talk about my approach to AI and filmmaking and the new ecosystem that emerges around AI filmmaking: metamorph-award.com/post/mark-wa...

Last month, my AI concept trailer "Copernicus" won second place in the "AI Trailer" category at the 2025 MetaMorph AI Film Award. Now I have received the actual award, my first-ever physical representation of an AI film award! It's so beautiful (and photogenic 😆)!

So honored that "The Cinema That Never Was" was recognized last weekend in the "Himalayas Edition" of the AI Film Awards at the Dhruma Film Festival 2025, a three-day festival at the UNESCO World Heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Station — just a stone’s throw from Mount Everest!

Cinema is my language, my mission, my craft. That's why these two nominations at the [ esc ] Awards 2025 mean so much to me. These categories beautifully capture what I strive for in my work. And standing among such visionary AI filmmakers and their mind-blowing films is truly inspiring.

Super proud to see "Wings" (2025) placing as a Finalist in the second season of Project0dyssey AI Film Competition, catching an "Honorable Mention" in the "Narrative" category. "Wings" was entirely shot in Luma's new level-3 AI video model Ray2, using only text-to-video.
