  • “The Alex Theatre has always been a place where groundbreaking storytelling and new creative voices come together, making CLOWD a natural fit for our stage. As technology continues to transform our creative lives, we’re proud to host a festival that explores the future of cinematic expression while bringing artists, innovators, and audiences together in our amazing historic theatre.”

    — Miles Williams, Artistic Director of The Alex Theatre 

  • “We are incredibly proud to partner with CLOWD for this landmark event. Rad TV has always been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of how audiences consume content, and the CLOWD AI Film Festival represents the absolute cutting edge of that mission. By providing a professional stage for AI filmmakers while strictly protecting their intellectual property, CLOWD is setting a new gold standard for the industry. We believe that the fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence is the next great chapter in cinema, and we are thrilled to help bring these visionary works to the big screen where they belong.”

    —Tony Mugavero of Rad TV

  • "At The Human AI Innovation Commons, we believe human-AI collaboration produces something neither could achieve alone — and CLOWD is proof of that principle in action. Festivals like this don't just celebrate creative work; they establish new norms for how that work is owned, valued, and shared. HAIIC exists to support exactly these kinds of projects — where the ethical alignment of technology and human authorship isn't an afterthought, but the foundation. We're proud to stand behind CLOWD and the storytellers it will bring to light."

    —Jeff Boortz, Founder & CEO, The Human-AI Innovation Commons

  • “The next phase of filmmaking isn’t about replacing creatives, it’s about reformatting the system around them. AI turns production into something more iterative, more programmable, and more accessible. What CLOWD is doing is creating a space where that shift can play out in the open, with creators still owning the work and the outcome. That’s a meaningful step forward.”

    — Andy Beach, CEO of Alchemy Creations

  • “I’m excited to see Curt launch this new AI Film Festival and showcase work that feels fresh and has never been seen before. It’s a powerful reminder that while storytelling remains a craft, the ways we create and produce films are rapidly evolving. What matters most is that talented creators are using these tools to push boundaries and explore new forms of cinematic expression.”

    —Ulrike Kerber of Viva

  • “The CLOWD Film Festival will showcase the best creative AI talent to date. Curt Doty has been at the forefront of AI creative and has his finger on the creative pulse of AI's current and future impact on Hollywood. As AI tools evolve, human talent across the entire entertainment storytelling ecosystem will use these tools to deliver exciting and world-illuminating experiences.”

    —Tim Tennant, Executive Producer and CMO at Vertex
