In the spirit of experimentation and the crazy pace of AI already in 2026, we decided to enter the new year coming out swinging. In the last few months, we’ve seen leaps in agentic video creation, world building models, and vibe coding, so why not? We need to skate to where the puck is going.
Last night, our first GenJam in SF pushed our community to create a world in WorldLabs, a video game with Rosebud, and a trailer with PlotParty, and weave that together to create an actionable dynamic IP with WideWorlds. And do all of that in 2 hrs!
In December in LA, we experimented with using AI to create 360 videos for an immersive dome experience.
Clearly, the new year is about a massive diversification of mediums, approaches, and outputs. We have to therefore interrogate what we mean by “cinema” in Machine Cinema. We can’t be locked into only video as what AI is capable of. More to come!
