    2024 WINNERS

    2024 GRAND PRIX WINNER -THE TRANSFORMATION OF REGGIE O'BRIAN

     By Paul Duran-Lemos          

    Judge's review "At its heart, this film delves into the universal struggles we face daily: feelings of inadequacy, conflicting emotions, insecurities, and the challenge of navigating life's repetitive yet often chaotic nature. It's a poignant reflection of what makes us all, in some ways, feel a little like Reggie O'Brian. Beyond this, the film highlights the capabilities of AI—and more importantly, its limitations—showing that true artistry lies in the deeper meaning crafted by human creators. While AI may serve as a tool, it is the human spirit that brings creativity to life."

    GOLD WINNER- ARE WE BECOMING ROBOTS

     By Joe Ata

    Poetic and thought-provoking, the film explores the delicate relationship between humanity and nature. As mankind advances in technology, it often comes at the cost of the natural world that nurtures our very souls. It serves as a call to action, urging us to reconnect with our essence and restore balance.

    SILVER WINNER- THE GREATEST BOOK - JOSEPH

    By Larry Ulrich

    A beautifully reimagined tale of faith, inspiration, and perseverance, this film breathes new life into one of the oldest and most enduring stories of Joseph. It promises to captivate a younger generation, reigniting their interest in exploring the timeless values of faith and resilience.
