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!

Pure cinema. "The Cinema That Never Was" on the big screen at the Escape.ai screening at "AI on the Lot," the largest AI film conference! 🤩 Thanks, John Gaeta, for capturing this moment!

20.04.2025 11:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 04/5: In AI terms, I think you would call it the "latent space of cinema"—that larger conceptual realm of films that could have been, or maybe still are, just not realized ... or not yet discovered.
20.04.2025 11:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 03/5: The ones abandoned early. Or that didn't make it past a script, an idea, or just a vague impulse. Or maybe even films that were never thought of in the first place. How would the history of cinema look with those films in the mix?
20.04.2025 11:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 02/5: Whenever I watch a film or dive into the history of cinema, I can't help but wonder what other movies we might love and celebrate ... if they had ever been made. Many films that once existed are now lost. But I'm thinking of films that were never made at all.

1/5: There's certainly a deeper connection between the power of cinema and the passion myth that Easter preserved—but the release of my video essay "The Cinema That Never Was" this weekend simply coincides with that.

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.
