Machine Cinema

Machine Cinema is a global AI creative ecosystem with over 20,000 members, built in three layers. Community and Hub form the core platform, where creators build profiles, find jobs and talent, and stream the best AI-made work through its own streaming service; the flagship GenJam events have run more than 200 times across 30+ countries, in partnership with the TV Academy, Pixar, Stanford University, Google, OpenAI and ByteDance, among others. Page One Accelerator is an eight-week programme that helps top creators produce, distribute and finance their work, and Fantastic Day is the group's AI-first production studio, working with artists and partners including Busta Rhymes and A&E. The community describes its beginnings modestly: it started with friends swapping prompts and grew into a global group of filmmakers, artists, gamers and storytellers. It runs jams, battles, workshops and salons every week, online and in person, and calls its approach AIRL, the idea that the best work comes from being in a room with other creators rather than from solo prompting. GenJam is its registered trademark. The co-founders are Minh Do, who also runs the GenJam workshops and is on the festival's guest list, and the producer Fred Grinstein, formerly Head of Non-Fiction Programming at Anonymous Content.
