    The first edition of the Neu Wave AI Film Festival in November 2024 has quickly become one of my favorite AI film festivals! This festival goes beyond simply showcasing films in a highly curated program—they genuinely care about the future of AI filmmaking. The organizers offered personal, engaging communication that made me feel truly valued as a creator, and they even facilitated opportunities to connect with industry players.

    Neu Wave is an inspiring platform for anyone passionate about exploring the potential of AI in storytelling. I highly recommend it to any AI filmmaker looking to showcase their work and join an innovative, forward-thinking community.
