One month ago, we stepped foot in Mumbai for the first time.

On Sunday, we hosted India’s First and Biggest AI Film Festival.

And, this is how we did it:

There’s work and there’s your life’s work.

The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it.

The kind of work that you’d never compromise on. That you’d sacrifice a weekend for.

You can show that work at events of LocalHost.

People don’t come here to play it safe. They come to swim in the deep end.

They want their work to add up to something.

Something big. Something that couldn’t happen anywhere else.

Blaming AI for bad content is like blaming the camera for a bad photo.

The next Your Name, Spirited Away, Akira are all existing in someone’s head right now.

AI will be a tool to help get it out.

Toy Story was rendered with less computing power than the phone you're reading this on.

There has never been a better time to create animation, create films, create music.

Submit to the Tokyo AI Film Festival, and if chosen, we'll fly you out from anywhere.

Two 18-year-olds think the next Miyazaki could come from anywhere and that a YouTuber can win an Oscar.

So they rented Tokyo’s top auditorium where the prime minister hosts their dinners. Only to host Tokyo’s biggest AI Film Festival on the 46th floor.

They’re flying finalists in from anywhere, with a ¥1.7 Million prize pool

Applications open to submit your film.

Attended by makers of Attack of Titan and some other people who made your childhood (NDA can’t reveal).

life update from april 1st to may 1st:
- came to SF and caught up with ppl from pixar, higgsfield, bytedance, comfyui and [redacted]
- spent 2 weeks in LA briefly and saw how big production studios use AI in their workflows
- finalized our new office space in sf (40,000 sqft!). rn we don’t even know what to make of the space yet (message us if you have ideas).
- successfully avoided raising venture capital as much as possible (W)
- made sure to hit the gym every single day (bulking is so damn hard)

main pivot has been we cancelled the LA AI Film Festival and are now planning a big initiative that we’d be announcing soon. this would be a project that’d work between our sf, bangalore and tokyo office which is super exciting

hey siri, play life is a highway from the movie “Cars”

in 1954, people thought Walt was crazy for spending $17 million to build a theme park on empty land far away from the city.

today that place is called disneyland

Every great idea looks delusional in the beginning.

Just heads down delusion that things might work out.

Delusion that maybe this video is just one of many more videos to come.

Delusion that one day we can genuinely change the fabric of culture.

Most people call it unrealistic.
I think that’s how anything begins

This is one of the stories from the Mumbai Ai film festival last November

See you soon!

In October we built an AI Film Festival in Mumbai in 25 days.
It went viral and it made national headlines.
Some people loved it, some really didn’t.

Two months later we were at a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the Government of India.

Today we’re in the corridors of Stanford’s Main Quad,
We are trying to figure things out as we go.
