    If I were a judge at the festival, I would have definitely awarded you the $1M prize. I was truly disappointed to see that you weren't even nominated. You are a top-tier filmmaker who truly understands how to use these new tools the right way. Congratulations on creating this film; I am eagerly waiting to see your next work. Best of luck!

    The art direction and vibe are honestly next level. I totally get the meta commentary on trauma spectacle, it’s a really smart concept. But it feels like it’s trying a bit too hard to be Black Mirror without the writing experience to really back it up. It plays like an incredible tech demo, but the storytelling just isn't there yet.

    You are the first to make something that made me forget it was AI for the entire video. Amazing job! I just couldn't understand the story but i am dumb anyways. Its just so good to see that it is indeed possible to engage with 100% generations

    Excellent storytelling, directing and production value realisation! Definetly got my vote for the award. The depth and dramatic arc are more than outstanding! Excellent acting and voice acting performance as well!! Congrats, no matter how much awards you win with this one, it will be recgonized as a great short (not AI Film) by many people.

    Mr. Mark Wachholz,
    I watched your film and will most likely vote for it, although I still haven’t seen a few other films yet.
    I am the director of the film Tree Man, which unfortunately did not make it to the shortlist. However, my film passed the initial screening stage, and the organizers requested additional footage as part of the selection process.
    I am truly happy that those who deserved it were selected. This was my first experience in filmmaking and, more broadly, in creating videos using artificial intelligence. I will probably make my film public on my YouTube channel as well.
    It was…

    Superb Mark, you got my vote. The production values are top notch. My question is what will you spend the million on? Also congrats on the Chroma awards just now.
