The people behind XPRIZE are offering $2.5 million to whoever can create the most hopeful vision of the future. So, I built an entire AI film crew for $60 and made a movie in one weekend. The catch? The first version was a complete disaster. This video documents my entry in the Future Vision XPRIZE. In this video, I break down the exact workflow, AI tools, and infrastructure I used to generate my film, set in a 2039 fishing village where a nearly perfect AI tutor forces a school to reconsider what human teachers are for. I’ll show you where the technology genuinely blew my mind, where it confidently failed, and the absolute most important lesson I learned about AI and human creativity. Let me know in the comments: What do you think a human teacher can give a child that an AI cannot?
