Future Film: Robert Gaudette, Runway AIF Grand Prix Winner, Screening and Q&A
Future Film is screening the Grand Prix winner from the 2026 Runway AI Film Festival and hosting a live Q&A with the filmmaker who made it, Robert Gaudette.
A Face Only a Mother Could Love beat out thousands of submissions to take the festival's top prize. This week, The Hollywood Reporter profiled him and asked whether he might be the next Charlie Kaufman.
But the prize isn't why this matters. Robert made a film with a compelling story that resonates emotionally with audiences.
After we screen the film, Robert joins us live to talk about how he made it, from the original idea to the creative and technical choices that turned it into the Runway Grand Prix winner.
For editors and filmmakers trying to turn this moment into real opportunity, this is a chance to watch the winning film, ask Robert how he made it, and take insights from his process back into their own work and careers.
Come watch the film. Bring your questions. See you Tuesday night!
