Quick favor, team 🙏 I just posted the second edition of AIFD Investor Watch on LinkedIn: who's putting money into AI film this month. Two AI video companies hit $1B valuations in two weeks, and one of them is a film studio. Why it matters for you: every week this page puts AI filmmakers in front of investors, producers and studios, and the more people see it, the more of them land on the directory where your profiles are. If you have 30 seconds: 1. Leave a comment on the post. One line is enough: which story surprised you, or what you'd build with that kind of money. Comments push it much further than likes. 2. Repost it if your network includes producers or investors. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexvachon_aifilmmakersdirectory-aifilmmaking-generativeai-share-7526405876287705088-DuzY/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABL6UoB-5StahmOHzZWGDUu3lmCPQPKtYA And while you're at it, check that your AIFD profile is up to date (reel, tools, specialties). That's what they'll see when they click through. Thank you! 💛 Alex

Today's AI Filmmaking News is live! 🎬 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexvachon_aifilmmakersdirectory-aifilmcareeraccelerator-ugcPost-7525936651227811840-3Zfi/ Big thanks to everyone who likes, comments on and reposts these. Every bit of it counts. LinkedIn pushes posts with real engagement to more people, so more producers and brands find the directory, and more of them land on YOUR profiles. Today: a fully AI-made feature opens in Korean theaters Nov 25 (after 14 months of editing), three tool-maker contests worth $1M, $50K and $20K (the $1M one closes Nov 20), and ElevenLabs is hiring a remote producer for six documentaries. French speakers: Luma is hiring a creative lead in London who has to be fluent in French. Story 3. Quick favor: drop a comment on the post. Even a few words help, and comments push it way further than likes. Easy one to answer: Zhang Yimou says nobody knows where this is going. What's the one story only you can tell? 🎥 Read the full edition, with every source: https://aifilmmakersdirectory.com/pages/ai-filmmaking-news Thanks guys!

This week: Instagram's new 90-minute format (and the $500K offers behind it), $1M in AI film prizes, three festival deadlines, and two Luma jobs. If it's useful to you, a like, comment or repost on LinkedIn helps it reach more AI filmmakers. And if you have a win this month (a client, a selection, a gig), tell me in the comments. It might be next Friday's member win. 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/up-500k-post-long-video-heres-catch-alex-vachon-sf32c

I made a video explaining the benefits of a Pro profile VS Free. I want to thank @Alex Lang , @Gavin Carlton , @Steve Tapia , @Benjamin Berjon for showing their faces or sharing their thoughts. It's something I've been wanting to do for months. It now appears on the Plans page and an email. Thank you all for your cooperation!

🏆 THE FUTURE WAS YESTERDAY — NOW IT’S AN AWARD-WINNING FILM! My film “THE FUTURE WAS YESTERDAY” has won the Audience Choice Award at Los Angeles AI Motion Pictures Awards! 🚀🎬 @LAAIMPA The future was yesterday. The love from the audience is TODAY! ❤️ https://x.com/AlexMoonAi/status/2115916473948577897 Inspired by the optimistic retro-futurism of the 1960s, this film takes a playful look at tomorrow — with a little nostalgia, a lot of imagination, and a future that’s not quite what we expected. Huge thanks to LAAIMPA for this honor, and to everyone who watched, voted, and supported the film. You made this journey even more special! Congratulations to all the amazing winners! 🎬✨ The future is still being written. See you in the next frame 🚀 #LAAIMPA #AIFilm #AIFilmmaking #IndependentFilm #TheFutureWasYesterday #filmfestival #losangeles
