Calling all Filmmakers!
You’re in luck!
We’re launching a filmmaking competition to showcase how technological advancements are unleashing a new wave of creativity upon the world.
Winners will receive up to $5,000 plus the opportunity to be considered for future Infinite Films productions. The top entries will also be promoted on the Infinite Loops Substack and YouTube channel.
Submission
Process
To enter, create and submit a video of up to 5 mins, using any form of next-generation technology (including but not limited to AI) inspired by any one of the following quotes:
"I'd rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right." - Elon Musk
"At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labor becomes abridged." - Charles Babbage
“The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas." - Terence McKenna
"The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways." - Robert Greene
These quotes are intended as sparks to get your creative fires burning - there are no “right” or “wrong” ways to interpret them. We’re looking for originality, artistry, and a vision that stands apart from the crowd.
We're particularly interested in entries that harness the advantages of new technology to breathe life into ideas in ways that would have been inconceivable previously.
