What does traditional media get wrong about AI filmmaking? A BAFTA-nominated director who spent 20+ years in television, including as a lead director for the BBC, has a clear answer. Continuing our sneak peek of Artist to Artist, our new series featuring conversations between @BLVCKLIGHTai and top filmmakers, this clip tackles one of the most common misconceptions about the craft. Ryan Phillips, founder of Uncanny Harry AI, brings a perspective few in this space have: he’s worked at the highest level of traditional TV and built a career in AI filmmaking. That makes his take on what most people get wrong worth hearing.

How does Mike J Mitch of Phantom X create AI series as compelling as The Sage? Since launching Fairground AI TV, we’ve experienced the same challenge facing every AI filmmaker: most audiences don’t yet understand and appreciate how this work is made. To turn the AI-curious into fans who realize the long hours and creativity behind every film we distribute, we’re launching Artist to Artist, a new interview series hosted by @BLVCKLIGHTai and featuring filmmakers defining this genre. Streaming on Fairground AI TV and across our socials, Artist to Artist is built for education, transparency, and honest conversations about where this industry is headed. Here’s a sneak peek of Episode 1, which breaks down why story matters in AI filmmaking through Phantom X’s The Sage and Red Rainbow by Aze Alter. With more episodes on the way, which AI filmmaker should we sit down with next?👇 #aicinema# #aifilmmaking# #aifilms#

Over 300 AI filmmakers, industry executives and the AI curious attended AI Creator Day. The inaugural AI Creator Day, organized by @TheWrap and @WhatsTrending, brought our community together in one room and the Fairground team was in attendance. Our Founder & CEO Colin Petrie-Norris (@cpetrien) joined Chris M. Williams (@chrismwil) and David Bianchi (@davidbianchi) on a panel moderated by Sharon Waxman (@sharonwaxman). Meanwhile, our team spent the day with current partners, meeting new AI filmmakers and talking about a big pain point for AI cinema: distribution. If you couldn't attend, here are our 3 takeaways: 1. The AI curious have entered the group chat. A big share of attendees were newer to the industry and they know embracing AI filmmaking is no longer optional. 2. In-person beats social media. Top AI filmmakers and execs were having honest, real conversations that never make it onto social. It gave us a clearer roadmap of where the industry is headed than anything posted online. 3. Our industry is exciting! Everyone in the room is genuinely excited about the future and it reminds us why we love this industry. We're already counting down to AI Creator Day 2027. If you were there, what was your biggest takeaway? #AIFilmmaking# #AICinema# #CreatorEconomy# #aicinema# #aifilms#

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#
