@PeterDiamandis So excited for this! It's going to immense 🔥

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We asked filmmakers around the world to show us an optimistic vision of the future that’s worth living for everyone (not a Terminator saga).

2,500 of them answered, and now this Friday in Los Angeles, the top 5 will pitch their visions to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Neal Stephenson, Rod Roddenberry, and Mira Lane.

@Jidenna sees AI as an evolution of Hip-Hop sampling: another way for artists to remix what exists and build something new.

The result is KITA, his filmmaking debut as a GRAMMY-nominated artist.

KITA explores a near-future claymation world where an unlikely connection between man and machine becomes a story about loneliness, dignity and community.

@Jidenna's directorial debut is out now ↓

[CapCut @capcutapp]

When a mysterious mass hurtles toward Earth, a man who has never committed to anything must make the one commitment he can't walk back:

Save the earth on a one-way trip with the robot who talked him into it.

Behind The Trials. Director Hal Watmough (@___Edit9) on bringing the film to life, from the first day on set to the final cut.

Next Beyond the Loop film drops June 23rd

[Wonder Studios @WonderStudiosX]

Join BAFTA-winning filmmaker Hal Watmough for a live workshop on The Trials, the first film from Beyond The Loop Season 2.

Hal will unpack how he built a grounded, emotionally realistic AI-native sci-fi film, from the South African wildlife setting and human drama at its core, to the larger-scale world of the Trials itself. We’ll explore story, craft, tools, and what it takes to make AI filmmaking feel cinematic, tactile, and real.

Join the livestream and you can ask him questions directly!

@WonderStudiosX A very special evening indeed ❤️

[Wonder Studios @WonderStudiosX]

Last week, we opened the doors to the House of Wonder for the premiere of Season Two of Beyond the Loop, our AI-native anthology series, and the first gathering inside the Church.

The evening started with Katharine McCallum of Atomico, Danny Perkins of Elysian and former CEO of StudioCanal, and @JustinHackney33, Co-founder and CCO of Wonder Studios, exploring the past, present and future of film. Then came The Trials – the groundbreaking new feature from BAFTA-winning editor @___Edit9 (Hal Watmough) that left the room speechless.

At Wonder, opening our doors to diverse creativity is ingrained in who we are. As creators, writers and founders came together, conversations carried on long into the night. Minds opened and imaginations ignited.

From inside the House of Wonder to screens worldwide, this is only the beginning.

We truly can't recommend it enough... watch The Trials and if it leaves you searching for answers, join the conversation in our community app.

Here's a peek into @HalWatmough 's (@___Edit9) filmmaking workflow in @capcutapp 🎬

This clip of Shona was built frame by frame - starting with a character reference image generated in Nano Banana, fed into an agent as the first frame, then iterated with cinematic prompts: handheld, dynamic, specific lighting and camera preferences.

The magic is in the back-and-forth. You see what works, give feedback, get suggestions, and fine-tune, without rolling from scratch every time. The agent holds all your references so your vision stays consistent throughout.

This is what AI-assisted storytelling looks like in practice. ✨
