The Big Screen Hack by Videostack
You're invited to a groundbreaking AI filmmaking competition. The Big Screen Hack is an intense, 18-hour creative sprint to make a short film using VideoStack.ai BETA, the world's first real-time AI filmmaking studio.
This is more than a competition; it's a career launchpad. While filmmakers spend months navigating the festival circuit, you have the unprecedented opportunity to create a film and have it premiere the very next day at an exclusive showcase side event at the BFI, perfectly timed to coincide with the BFI London Film Festival. This is your chance to network with the producers, executives, and creators descending on London for the festival.
Master new skills, create an incredible piece for your portfolio, and gain unparalleled industry exposure.
