Introducing Fairground AI Creator TV, the industry's first AI-only FAST channel! Fairground Entertainment is launching the first-ever FAST channel built exclusively around AI-generated content, debuting across 5+ connected TV and FAST platforms this August. For the first time, AI Cinema streams directly to audiences already watching FAST channels on major platforms. Live 24/7 with primetime shows, programming blocks, and the most innovative content being made with AI today. The lineup features over 100 creators and visual artists alongside 40 studios, including: - Kelly Boesch (@kellyeld) - Phantom X - Kavan the Kid (@Kavanthekid), Mike J Mitch (@mikejmitch) and S.A.V (@FilmsBySav) - Ryan Phillips (@Uncanny_Harry - BLVCKL!GHT (@BLVCKLIGHTai ) - Wonder Studios (@WonderStudiosX) - MASSIVE STUDIOS (@ai_massive) - Machine Cinema's accelerator program (@MachineCinemaAI) Along with a long roster of talented creators that can't all be listed here! Fairground's Founder & CEO Colin Petrie-Norris (@cpetrien) calls it a "genuinely groundbreaking moment for this medium." The goal is simple: bring AI Cinema to entirely new audiences, people who have never encountered this art form before, and to do it at scale across the connected TV ecosystem. Stay tuned for more updates. We'll be announcing shows, platforms, and more in the coming weeks. Are you a Creator who wants their film on TV?

We asked the world to send us their best AI Films. Over 400 people answered. After weeks of watching, rewatching, and debating, we're ready to announce the Best of AI Season 2 winners. What made judging so difficult wasn't the volume. It was the quality. From 400 submissions to 200 finalists to 16 Grand Finalists, the bar kept rising. Every cut was painful and second guessed. In the end, we asked: which films built a world you believed in? Which stories stayed with you? Which craft pushed the boundary of what AI cinema can do? Three films answered all three in abundance: 🥇 1st Place - Thea Philopatora by Gertywood (@Gertywood5) 🥈 2nd Place - NOCTARI by Jakob Söe-Pedersen 🥉 3rd Place - Operation Valkyrie II by Jacek Kadaj (@jacek_kadaj) Congratulations to the winners and everyone who submitted. The stories you crafted, and the craft behind them, were extraordinary to watch. This competition is closed. The next one is already in motion. Stay tuned. #AIFilm# #AiFilmmaking# #AICinema# #GenAI#

this is the most incredible piece of AI cinema I have ever seen. if you want a glimpse into the future - this is it. tons of human involvement in scripting, acting, and storyboarding, met with unreal executional capability of generative video models

The Top 16 Finalists for Best of AI Season 2 are here... and they blew us away! From 400+ submissions, we cut to 200. Then came the hardest part: choosing just 16 as Grand Finalists.

Starting today, you can watch Fairground AI Creator TV on Amazon Prime Video and Xumo Play 🎉 We're proud to announce that the first 24/7 FAST channel dedicated to AI cinema is now available on two of the largest CTV and FAST platforms in the world. On Amazon, Fairground AI Creator TV is available to Prime Video's massive U.S. audience and select other territories, regardless of their plan. The channel joins creator channels such as MrBeast, iShowSpeed TV, and Hot Ones. With Xumo Play, owned by Comcast and Charter Communications, their FAST and AVOD platform is available across all major streaming devices in North America, as well as being the default streaming service for Xfinity, Spectrum and Cox set top boxes in the USA. More platforms means more eyes on the work of AI filmmakers, and we're thrilled to add these two as carriers of the channel following Roku and LG. This is a big moment as it introduces AI cinema to millions of potential new viewers. But it's only possible because of the hard work, creativity, and trust of our creator community. It's their work on screen and we're proud to help bring it to a bigger audience. There's plenty more to come, but for now, you can watch the channel on Amazon Prime Video, Xumo Play, and Roku below, or on LG channel 249.

What are the most asked questions we're getting right now? As we wrap up the launch period of Fairground AI Creator TV, we wanted to answer the questions we hear most from our community. 1. How do I know if my film will be distributed? Once a film is submitted, we run it through a process that evaluates IP, trademarks, music rights, and more. If cleared, it goes to manual review, where we try to match it with distribution opportunities. Demand has been intense. Submission volume has been overwhelming and new films currently face a wait of almost a month for evaluation. We don't believe in shortcuts. Every film deserves the time and attention to be reviewed properly and that's something we deeply care about. That said, we're not happy with that timeline. We're actively working to review content faster and give our community clearer updates on where their film stands. Right now, we only reach out when a distribution opportunity arises, factoring in previous submissions. Expect improvements in the coming months. 2. What does reporting look like? Stream starts, watch time, time slot performance, and demographics are the metrics we plan to provide by year-end. As all platforms report differently, we're focused on offering the best data possible, while accepting that some provide more granular data than others. Initial reporting is already coming in. Full revenue and performance data can take 60–120 days. That's the nature of CTV and FAST platform reporting cycles, not something specific to us. 3. How much money will my content make? This is the question that matters most (and for good reason). AI cinema is still hard to monetize and few creators are making a full-time living from it yet. We want to be transparent about revenue while we build toward a future where more AI filmmakers can focus solely on making amazing content. Revenue reporting from CTV and FAST platforms typically comes at the end of the reporting cycle mentioned above. As that data comes in, we'll first share a forecast with our community that gives them a clearer sense of earning potential. Once the finalized data is available, we'll be disclosing more publicly. Our goal is data that's fast and useful, but accuracy comes first. For more on content submissions, check out our updated Submission Information page: We update it regularly and if there's something you want added, message us!

Something amazing is coming soon 👀 Meet the revamped Fairground Watch Page, built to highlight the best AI Cinema submitted by our community. Fairground AI Creator TV has been our major focus lately, but we're just as excited about this: a home for filmmakers to showcase their work, get feedback, submit to programming opportunities, and unlock a new layer of monetization. To start, the Watch Page will spotlight upcoming Fairground AI Creator TV programming, staff picks, and sneak peeks of what's coming soon. Much more to come, and this is just the beginning of building a destination where our community's work gets seen, submitted, and paid. Check out the new Watch Page here and let us know what you think:

August was an insane month for Fairground. In fact, it was the biggest month in the company's history. Here's the recap for our community: 🚀 We launched Fairground AI Creator TV, the first 24/7 FAST channel dedicated to AI cinema, live on Roku and LG. 📺 Two weeks later, the channel expanded to Amazon Prime Video and Xumo Play, putting our creators' work in front of an even bigger audience. 💻 Fairground also hosted an exclusive workshop with the Dreamina AI team on Seedance 2.5, featuring a top Dreamina creator (@zk_lonelion) walking through how he's using it in production. Participating creators also walked away with 3,000 extra credits, an example of the opportunities beyond distribution we want to offer this community. 📈 And the community itself grew over 50% in August! We even had more content submitted in a single day than in our first 9 months combined. From day one, our focus has been building the pipeline that connects AI filmmakers to real TV audiences. August was a big step in making that happen and there's more to come. If this is the new baseline, we're excited for September!

Fewer than 1 in 20 films submitted to Fairground make it to Amazon Prime, Roku, Xumo and LG. So…what actually makes the cut for Fairground AI TV? Since launch, one question has come up more than any other from the AI filmmaking community: what is Fairground looking to distribute? To answer it, we asked Alexandra Mills, our Head of Production, to explain what makes the cut for Amazon, Roku, and our other platform partners. Here's how the team evaluates content: Story first. "Plot, characters and the world are always top of the list," Alex says. "A tight 5-minute film with a real story beats a beautifully rendered 20-minute film with a weak plot, every day of the week." Length matters, but not how you'd think. Content needs to be 3+ minutes. Longer generally makes distribution easier, but length never wins over quality. Focus on the story and the length that best fits. That's what matters. Original IP Only. Every submission through the Fairground Portal goes through copyright, music licensing and trademark reviews prior to distribution. Collectively, we need to ensure that all work is 100% original and is the very best of AI cinema.  Make sure everything, including your music, is original. Formatting is strict. We distribute only 16:9 right now (no vertical), and we're aiming for PG-13 as the default, though we do have late-night slots that can carry TV-MA and above. Genre shifts with the calendar. We distribute across every major genre, but what we prioritize moves with tentpole moments and what our platform partners need. Right now: horror for Halloween, and animated work for a separate opportunity. And the thing that matters most: did we feel something? "Did the combination of human artistry and generative AI tools produce a story worth telling?" Alex says. "That's the real bar, and it should be every creator's North Star." The decisions don't stop once content airs. Fairground runs dynamic scheduling, constantly watching how content actually performs. Stream starts, watch time, overall session time. Overperforming content earns a better slot. Underperforming content makes way for something new. The lineup is never static, and neither is the bar we use to make decisions. As the technology improves, standards will increase over time. If you are submitting new content for consideration, it may take 3-4 weeks for it to be reviewed for distribution, as submission volume has increased since launch. We appreciate your patience and while it may take us time to review your film, we want to give it the time and consideration it deserves. We don’t want to rush something you put time, money and real work into. We just wrapped our first month and the data has already surprised us. More on what we're learning (including a heat map of our top-performing programming windows) is coming soon. For now: what other questions do you have?
