The MetaMorph AI Film Award team interviewed some of this year's finalists and winners. In my interview about my AI concept trailer "Copernicus", I talk about my approach to AI and filmmaking and the new ecosystem that emerges around AI filmmaking: metamorph-award.com/post/mark-wa...

Last month, my AI concept trailer "Copernicus" won second place in the "AI Trailer" category at the 2025 MetaMorph AI Film Award. Now I have received the actual award, my first-ever physical representation of an AI film award! It's so beautiful (and photogenic 😆)!
